If you're looking to boost your Saab 9-3's performance, check out the ETS Intercooler. This isn't just any intercooler; it’s designed specifically for the 2003 and newer 4-cylinder Saab 9-3, including the Sport Sedan models from 2003 to 2012. The first thing you'll notice is the quality of craftsmanship. The cast tanks are smooth, and the bar and plate core is built to last. Seriously, this thing can take a beating from rocks and road debris that would dent lesser cores.
What sets this intercooler apart is its efficient design. The core is 100% vacuum brazed, which means it’s not just slapped together. It features louvered external fins and a finely tuned internal fin pack. The internal fins are staggered and offset, which helps maximize airflow. This design allows for an impressive 82% efficiency rating. Even when pushing 300 horsepower, you’re only looking at a drop of just 0.75 psi. That’s pretty remarkable!
With a flow rate of 1080 CFM, this intercooler can handle all the boost your engine can throw at it. It’s rated for up to 710 crank horsepower, so whether you're daily driving or hitting the track, you can trust this intercooler to perform. Plus, it fits right into the stock location, making installation a breeze without any major modifications.
And let’s not forget about durability. The custom cast Aluminum 356 end tanks are not only lightweight but also rigorously designed. They’re deburred, shot peened, and TIG welded to ensure they can handle the pressure. Each unit is visually inspected and pressure tested to 35 psi before it leaves the shop, so you know you’re getting a reliable product.
If you’re serious about getting the most out of your Saab 9-3, this ETS intercooler is a solid upgrade that will keep your temps down and performance up.
