If you're looking to boost your Saab 9-5's performance, the ETS intercooler is a solid choice. This unit isn’t just any intercooler; it’s built with smooth-flowing cast tanks and a bar and plate core that really gets the job done. The core is 100% vacuum brazed, which means it’s tough and ready for action. Plus, those louvered external fins and fine internal fin pack? They work together to maximize airflow and heat transfer.
What really sets this intercooler apart is its design. The internal fins are staggered and offset, which helps every little air molecule do its job of cooling efficiently. We're talking about an impressive 82% efficiency rating here. And if you're pushing around 300 horsepower, you’ll only see a drop of .75 psi. That's pretty stellar for maintaining power under boost!
On top of that, this intercooler can handle a whopping 1080 CFM flow rate. So, whether you’re tuning for more boost or just want to keep your engine running cooler, this intercooler has got your back. It’s rated for up to 710 crank horsepower, which is more than enough for most setups. And the best part? It fits right into the stock location, so no need for crazy modifications.
Now, let’s talk about the build quality. This isn’t some flimsy part you’ll have to baby. The vacuum brazed bar and plate core is rugged enough to withstand rocks and debris that could easily dent lesser models. The custom cast Aluminum 356 end tanks are deburred, shot peened, and TIG welded to ensure they can take a beating. Each unit is visually inspected and pressure checked to 35 psi before it ships out, so you know you’re getting a reliable product.
So, if you’re ready to take your Saab to the next level, the ETS intercooler is a smart upgrade. It’s built tough, performs well, and fits like a glove.
