J,
I am in the same boat as you with my 1997 NG900. Flex pipe is shot and wheezing, and the exhaust is almost rusted through. Yeah, sports exhaust time. I posted about the same time over on the NG900 board, but responses have been scarce (despite Dean's TBTC suggestion - thanks). I have done some extensive searching, and perhaps could have saved myself about $100.
Long story short - I am purchasing Sports Exhaust and Flexpipe (Genuine Saab from a Saab dealer) for $455, and of course DIY. I would like to add the downpipe as well, but I am awaiting other solutions, as well as the cash. However, it appears that the 3" downpipe is still a good fit with the 2.5" Sport Exhaust at a later time. $900 for non-stainless seemed a bit much at this time - I am in snowy WNY.
Therefore I recommend (from my limited, mainly searching knowledge) Sport Exhaust and flexpipe for now until you have more time. Serching seems to point in the direction of an Advance Auto Walker replacement (part # cited 53058) that has a lifetime guarantee for something like $50 (2002 dollars - just searched advance and it was $108), give or take (I am paying $140 for Saab genuine), available overnight. Thesaabsite.com has it (site sponsor), genuine replacement, for $92, and this was the best price I could find.
I hope to have it for the weekend, and with the holiday, I was off a day. Therefore, I ordered it all from the same place in hopes that it makes it here, together, before then. Best of luck to you. Let me know if you find anything else out, and I will do likewise. Thanks.
Sean
