My experience with turbo exhaust...

I have a '92 900 S, same car basically. I bought the turbo cat-back from eEuroparts.com (fairly cheap) and had my local Saab guys put it on correctly (my cat bolts were in rough shape). The 2.1L cat bolt pattern will allow an easy replacement, sure enough. But the result was too loud for my taste. At low-speeds and when accelerating between 1500-3000 rpms under load, you can feel the exhaust in your head. And it isn't a good feeling. At idle, it sounds great. On the highway, cruising along, it sounds fine. Any other time, it's too loud.
Turns out that the turbo itself in a 900 turbo acts to silence the exhaust and add back pressure. The 2.1L is probably a bit louder than the older 2.0L 8v or 16v N/A motors would be with the turbo exhaust as well.
I like the looks of the flared tailpipe, the overall exhaust note, but I'll be asking my local muffler shop to weld something into the intermediate pipe to quiet it just a tad; just as soon as I finish a bunch of mod work on my 9-3.
