New member, Saab 9-2x owner / need advice
Hey whats up everybody? First time poster here. I signed up to see what kind of mods I can do with this thing. I'm not really into doing anything real crazy engine and performance wise, just maybe some smaller less expensive stuff and aesthetic things here and there. My biggest love is stereo, I already tore apart and installed quite a stash of stuff but made it all completely hidden except for the head unit and subwoofer of course cause i love the stock look of this car. So far this is what i've done:
-Eclipse AV8132 in dash lcd screen/dvd player
-Crossfire bmf1000d subwoofer amp
-Adire Audio 15" Brahma subwoofer (huge and heavy but SOO worth it)
-rockford fosgate chrome 400a4 mid/highs amp
-CDT Audio Eurosport 6 1/2" braxial speakers in the front doors
-Stinger 0/1 gauge HPM wires
-22% tint on rear windows/hatch
I'd post pics but it looks like any others already posted. Anyway, right now i'm lookin to start out just having the car sound a little sweeter so i plan on removing the snorkus and possibly getting a BOV but it seems most people recommend against them for stock cars. I REALLY love the BOV sound though so i'm looking for a solution that won't mess up mileage/driveablility. Anyone have any experience with the GFB stealth FX? It looks as though I can vary it's venting enough to the point where it shouldn't affect my everyday driving but I don't know all that much about turbos yet. Suggestions?

I think most people are against buying a bov just because the stock one is perfect as it is. But if you must have one, here are some warnings: you'll get worse gas mileage. you'll get annoyed of the sound after sevearl hundred miles, you might have some idling issues (hasn't happen to me).
I have the hks bov on my car, only because it came free with the intercooler. No problems with it except it gets annoying on the highways.
