The JT (I have one) is pretty good though fitting seems to have most people chasing litle leaks for a while, and aligning it at the rear end seems tricky (I had clonks at first). Some people use band clamps at the joints rather than the U-bolts that come with the system. The nuts at the turbo can loosen and are a @*$? to tighten. The tailpipe sticks out a bit on the CS/CSE but looks neater on an Aero with its different body kit. Noise is just a little louder but pleasant and very acceptable - not at all "boy racer".
As far as performance goes, it certainly adds power (maybe 10 bhp on a 200 bhp engine) and flexibility, and it seems to suit my auto transmission very well. The turbo seems to spool up a little faster. I had to adjust base boost back to normal after fitting. As George says, the downpipe and cat are the best bits.
