I thought the only reason to remove the SAS on the 990 would be for the weight, since it's only used when the motor is not in closed loop.

Not the same as removing it from the 950s.

I know CJRacer sells the 2-into-1 pipe already done (with a core charge) or you can send him yours and he'll do it up proper.

I found replacing the stock temp switch didn't allow the radiator and thermostat to do their jobs, and the fans actually ran longer than when I switch back to stock.
