Something's not right...

You should definitely feel more power (hp and torque) in your modified '97 CSE auto over your stock '97 Aero stick. The only detriment you should experience is when the Garrett T25 turbo is at its max, and the Mitsu TD04 turbo keeps going, but at that point, the Aero should be a spec in your rear-view mirror.
A couple of things:
1) Why only the cat-back exhaust upgrade? All performance improvements will be gained in a dp-cat uprgade, increasing the size from 2.25" to 3". Doing just the cat-back will result in little-to-no improvement.
2) Did you increase the diameter of the intake pipe? I have been told that that actually decreases performance. Check out this link to my past post on this topic:
http://saabnet.com/tsn/bb/9000/index.html?bID=156154
3) Are you sure the ECU is fully adapted to its max limits? Mine took over a month (normal and hard driving) and I did a few of those adaptation runs in the beginning (up a big hill maintaining full boost between 2750 and 3200 rpm's for 5 seconds).
4) Do you use premium fuel (92+ octane)?
5) NGK BCPR7ES plugs? Less than 12K miles on them? Gapped to 1.00mm?
You may not be attaining full boost in the Abbott-ized car, even though it runs smoothly. I had a "little-to-no boost" situation that took 8 months to figure out (was the small check valve in the PCV system), and the car was running great. Now that the car is at its peak/best, it's hitting 18 - 20 psi's of boost, extremely quick throttle response, and is leaving Audi's, BMW's, M-B's, GS400's, and even a Porsche in its trail!
