I have a full (turbo-back) JT system and am delighted with it. It came from Maptun but had Speedparts tape on the box - which came somewhat undone during shipping from Sweden to UK, by the way.
All parts were included but my service mechanic had a struggle fitting the system and I had some vibration from contact with the spare wheel housing. Took it to my local exhaust shop (as I should have done to start with) and they lined everything up properly.
Only problem since then was loosening of the bolts at the turbo end, which are sods to tighten (use short socket extension and/or a really short wrench).
The sound is great - not loud, but really solid. Performance is considerably increased, especially at the top end.
Regarding stainless steel - what Eric says is true, but the aluminised steel seems very thick and good quality, and Swedes must use salt too. You could always spend about $1,400-plus on a Hirsch stainless system, or something in between with Abbott or A N Other. I didn't want an exhaust that would end up worth more than my car.
