took me 4+ months to get mine back in '02. I was also anxious, but then found out most people have waited the same amount of time.
Unless he has some in stock, they take a long time to finally reach you.
The company that hand-makes them does a ton of business, and they shut down the plant at some time during the year (I forget when). Bo also orders them in bulk, so the company has to make that many to fill his order. Then they have to be shipped from Sweden to Chicago, and then shipped to you.
I don't blame you for getting frustrated; I was, too. Just know that it is probably almost here since you ordered it 3 months' ago.
In the meantime, if you haven't done so already, get all the extra stuff needed for the install:
rubber hangers (to replace the old ones as well as to hang the cat)
band clamps (exceedingly better than the u-clamps shipped with the JT)
acoustic sealant (seals leaks and allows for easier disassembly later on)
silver/copper grease (used at turbo end, silver is better aka anti-seize)
wire to extend 2nd O2 sensor (if you have one, '96+)
bung/boss (to have welded onto pipe after cat to install 2nd O2 sensor)
13mm closed-end wrench (long- and short- handled for turbo studs/nuts)
turbo studs & nuts (from Saab, in case you snap one, return if unused)
metal saw/Zawsaw (to cut pipes for fitment)
installation printouts (check the sites posted on this board, I have them)
BEER (or whatever poison of your choice)
