Saab Guy Wants Help

[gt28 SAAB]

Hey guys, I've got a saab 9-3 with a GT28 and a whole list of mods.

I'm looking to pick up a set of headers, god knows that Performance parts for saabs are expensive as hell, I found these for a dsm,

I've got a Saab exhaust flange, and the turbo flange is the same, what I'd like to do is cut off the flange that comes with it and weld on my saab flange.

Obviously, I don't want to spend 150+$ if it's not going to work, I'm wondering if someone can tell me the spacing between the center of the exhaust ports on the 4g63. That would be very helpful, in me figuring out whether I could cut and weld it to make it work.

They look evenly spaced, but I'm not sure, if you could let me know(doesn't have to be exact, but close to like half of an inch).

i.e. the first is at 0, then 5.5, 11, 16.5.

Thanks a lot, if i can do this, it will likely cost me $200-250 instead of $1100-1200.

I haven't updated it in a long time, but here's a link to my car domain if you're interested.

Just get an exhaust manifold gasket for a 4g63 and you'll get exact dimensions. They aren't too expensive.

You can also get a hold of Tim at www.punishment-racing.com and ask him if he can make you a custom 2G manifold with your Saab exhaust flange.

Do not click on his ride link. Some type of mal-ware/virus thing.... shit load of pop-ups and shit starts scanning.

Nothing happens when I open it.

Good idea, maybe i'll just stop in at autozone or the mitsu dealer and they'll let me measure it, save me 15$+ shipping for something i don't need.

If it is not a special order item, you can always return it and pay the 10% ($2) stocking fee.
