If you're looking to squeeze every bit of performance out of your Saab 9-5, the ETS intercooler is a game changer. This isn't just another aftermarket part; it’s built with serious attention to detail that you can appreciate once you get it installed and on the road.
What sets this intercooler apart is its smooth-flowing cast tanks paired with a highly efficient bar and plate core. The core is 100% vacuum brazed, which means it’s designed to handle the heat without breaking a sweat. It features louvered external fins and a finely crafted internal fin pack that work together to maximize airflow. The internal fins are staggered and offset, making sure that every single air molecule gets a chance to do its job, transferring heat away efficiently. With an impressive 82% efficiency rating, it’s no wonder that at 300 HP, you’re only looking at a .75 psi drop. Pretty impressive, right?
And let’s talk flow rate—this bad boy can handle up to 1080 CFM. That means it’s ready to support whatever boost you throw at it, up to 710 crank HP. All of this power comes while fitting snugly into the stock location, so you don’t have to worry about any awkward modifications.
When it comes to construction, the ETS intercooler is tough as nails. That rugged vacuum brazed core can take a beating from rocks and road debris that might dent other types of intercoolers. The custom cast Aluminum 356 end tanks are a nice touch, too. They’re deburred, shot peened, and TIG welded to the core, ensuring a solid build. Plus, each unit is visually inspected and pressure checked to 35 psi before it ships out, so you know you’re getting something that’s going to perform reliably.
Fitments:So if you're ready to upgrade your Saab's intercooler, the ETS 1100-10-IC-001 is a solid choice. It’s all about performance without sacrificing reliability, and it fits right in like it was meant to be there.
