And just FYI, the F.I. 2.5" exhaust works for both N/A and TT/SC applications...
I'm still getting HFC pipes.

And for your FYI, even though 2.5 works. 3" pipes are optimum. If I'm spending nearly 18 grand on a proper turbo system??? I'm putting the proper exhaust.

But thanks for the advice.

Why are you paying to remove the cats... to buy HFC's? That's just like...

And if you're spending 18k on a turbo kit... who are you going through?! What mods are included with that aside from the kit itself?

Yes I know 3" is optimal, but you won't be hurting if you get a 2.5" system like you might be thinking...

hmm, you're getting the 3" over the 2.5" cbe bc you want optimum performance... but you're getting HFC's over test pipes bc... ?

HFC. On a stock exhaust keeps me legal. Its NA power. Make sense???
3" exhaust on a turbo build helps turbos run at optimum levels... you are comparing two different idealogies. A temporary set of mods vs my ultimate goal.

Why buy test pipes and a 2.5inch exhaust for 2k now. If I can just get the sound I want with a res cut and hfc until the day I'm ready for a turbo build.
