De reden dat ik niet voor JT gegaan ben zijn de ervaringen van deze persoon:

Blijkbaar ging zijn JT systeem maar 3 jaar mee
T 3" Super Flow exhaust (now history) Last Update 11th November 2002
In March 1999 I decided to upgrade the exhaust to one with a better flow. The quieter it would be, the better. Oh, I wouldn't mind some nice turbo whine but I'd stay away from a rice-pipe. I was first looking for a stainless system, but was told by Ferrita of Sweden that they would have to individually match one to my car. I didn't find the trip to Sweden plus paying €/$900 for the set too tempting, so I turned to BSR. They offered JT's 3" SuperFlow exhaust, as a complete set including the front pipe, for €/$360. This set would retain the original catalytic converter, of course. It has a very modest, single 3" exhaust tip - I surely wasn't looking for a chromed eye-catcher, or even worse, a dual exhaust! Bought the set and had it installed by my mechanic (requires a good lift, a set of tools and lots of patience. The exhaust mounting screws tend to rust so that they have to be cut plus it is quite an involved task to align a 3" system into a Saab...). Even though the new exhaust has only one muffler (as does the original one) it is relatively quiet and doesn't turn heads when accelerating. It did make a difference by means of throttle response: Better response at lower RPM's - faster turbo spool-up. In my opinion well worth the money.
UPDATE: This JT system was retired in Fall 2002 and replaced with a Ferrita Stainless system. The JT was a good system, but unfortunately it rotted in only three years. The place to fail was the place where the tail pipe connects to the rear silencer. There was a hole the size of a finger there and the rest of the system was going to fail soon, too. So if you're going for the JT just dont fall in love with it. It will not last for a lifetime
Ik heb onlangs ook (net als (R)Ed ) een Ferrita Free Flow systeem geplaats. Volledig RVS en een levenslange garantie. Ik ben 1,5 uur bezig geweest op mijn oprit om de oude er onderuit te halen en de nieuwe te plaatsen. Pasvorm was perfect. Geluid is iets stoerder dan origineel maar zekers geen sjonnie toestanden. Bij doortrekken in hogere toerental klinkt tie lekker racy.
Ferrita is voor allerlei automerken leverbaar en ook voor de Saab 9000.
