I’d like to extend an official welcome to Hirsch Performance – Saab’s own official tuning house – as supporters of Saabs United!
I’m quite chuffed to have these verifiably mad Swiss tuning masters supporting the site. Not only are they sponsors, they’re also the ECU tweakers for my Saab 9-3 Monte Carlo. Yes, I’ve managed to grab a no-longer-for-sale Hirsch Trionic 5 ECU for the Monte and it will be installed soon. I can’t wait.
What follows is the April 2009 newsletter from Hirsch. They have a number of new products and a number of special offers available at the moment.
I’m hoping we’ll have some more Hirsch news relating to wider availability to share in the not-too-distant future, too.

01. XWD exhaust system
New: Stainless steel dual sports exhaust system for all Saab 9-3 XWD
The best sounding Saab ever. Despite the distinctively sporty sound, the Hirsch Performance sports exhaust for the 2.0T and 2.8 V6 XWD has been finely tuned to avoid the typical booming at motorway speeds that can be an annoying companion for many sports exhausts. These exhaust systems were developed for the recently launched Saab 9-3 Performance by Hirsch special edition vehicle.
The sound could be described, but really needs to be experienced.
As an option, the exhaust system is also available as a set together with the new Hirsch Performance rear diffusor.

02. Suspension for XWD
A sport suspension from Hirsch Performance is now available for all Saab 9-3 2.0T XWD and Saab 9-3 2.8 V6 XWD cars. Just like the original XWD suspension, both systems are delivered including self-levelling rear dampers.
Hirsch Performance sport suspensions lower the centre of gravity, thus improving handling and braking performance, as well as creating a sporty stance. The suspensions have been developed to ensure that comfort and handling are well balanced, and that the Saab safety systems operate correctly under extreme conditions.
The sport suspension will lower the Saab 9-3 2.0T XWD 25mm in the front and 10mm in the rear.
The sport suspension will lower the Saab 9-3 2.8 V6 XWD 25mm in the front and 15mm in the rear.
