What are the benefits of this? Are they better, or cheaper?
They're stronger than 9-5 pistons and rods, so they can allow you to increase the power to over the 320hp that's normally the rough stopping point for standard rods/pistons ![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
It's not mine yet since I only put down a deposit today http://www.woodstoncarcentreltd.co.uk/used-cars/sa... . It's going to be sent off to have the Stability Control warning light investigated.

Managed to get a quick exhaust clip with some revs, still trying to get the missis to hold a camera to do a drive past though!! New paddle clutch & SMF is now bedded in and it's holding fine (so far!!) Just waiting on some new Bosch coils to go with new plugs, for these then I can get the thing on a dyno in Jan and see what stage 5 plus this 18t can get ![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)

They do sound good, rare aswel!! How's the Hadlex on yours? I've read Thorney (VXR specialists) do an upgrade on the Insignias Hadlex, so should be good for big power/torque

TONS of potential with these V6 motors

I don't know, I wonder if the backboxes are different?
All the TX's certainly all sound the same, and it's a much more brutal noise than the normal V6s. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CddfSpZmCus - Yours now has way more bass, but still doesn't have the same raspy edge to it.

Looks like the TX has a 'rumble box' just before the silencers, but no middle resonator:

Here's my standard system, all changed now though and just a new 3" straight through from the turbo back bar a 3" resonator, but you can see the difference between the Aero & TX set up here:

I might give the rumble box a go if I can find a used one cheap enough and ditch my resonator (doubtful though as the TX is pretty rare!)

Makes a big difference budd especially with the right map to suit, probably looking around £500-550 for a custom 3" DP and Midpipe fitted.
Does yours drone at all cruising around 2k? I'm tempted to ditch this resonator and try and find the TX's rumble box, should sound a bit more mad then![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)

For the moment I was thinking of sticking with the standard map and just dropping one of the £70 American DPs in.

70 quid!! Where from mate? That's super cheap for a DP!
I'd need to dig out the link again, but it was somewhere in the US. Granted you'd have vat and import on top of that, but I was planning on picking one up next time I'm stateside and just wanging it in the suitcase.Gassing Station | Saab | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
