Exhaust Concern...
*tisk... its been trashed 
Now what kinda Cat should I use?
Would the stocker be better?
If I should use a High-Flow, should I go with the Magnaflow style with the rock in it, or the straight tube type (whos functionality doesnt make sense to me...)?

Dont everybody start PMS'in on me now, just cus I said somethings better than RRM...

Could you do a review in details? Where do you notice the biggest power gain, torque? Sound?
you lost a lot of backpressure from opening up the exhaust flow so much. once you get that turbo on there, you wont have anything to worry about (they create a lot of back pressure).
how long until you get the turbo? if its too long then you might want to put the stock exhaust back on.
1. You have no backpressure, which NA engines hate. I have a basically fully loaded engine and I don't even have an exhaust so as to keep my backpressure.
2. I doubt a header that doesn't even fit is better than one made by RRM, RPW, etc..

All Im saying is that I dont know the details about "why" for sure, however Alchemist explained sumtin' about why 4-2-1 would be better than 4-1. Sumtin' about a resulting Torque difference.
What I will do however, is as soon as I fix the mistake of takin' the Cat off, and put it back on... I'll tell ya's what I do realize about this new Header/DP verses stock Headers with a 2.5" Cat Back.

It fits perfectly. in fact the 4G93 and 4G94 are the same Head so it bolted right up.
I didnt need to change anything but shorten/cut the end of the Downpipe, really.
RRM and RMRs are 4-1, thats why I said that.

The Turbo is going on as soon as I buy a Turbo and Intercooler.
I want a Turbonetics Turbo or a Garret in Chrome/Stainless.
Perhaps sumtin' like a T-28. Id really like a GT Wastegate, but I dont know yet if their only functional for certain degrees of power or not.
I dont want to use a Turbo Manifold tho, cus I like how the Headers look.
Im just gonna go the old fashioned way and use a J-Pipe.
Im never ever gonna pay 3-4K bucks for a Turbo kit.
Aside from buying the Turbo and IC itself, you can build one for 100 bucks.

hmmm interesting let everyone know how the custom turbo works out. i would be more inclined to go with a pre-assembled turbo kit cause i don't really know much about them (which means i prob shouldn't get one for a long time anyways). i guess it pays to know what you are doing.

I realize one thing, that I think is really cool...
People flame eachother all the time here, Ive even recieved my fair share.
But one thing you can count on, is that when somebody needs help and has a question... EVERYBODY stops to offer a hand and answers as best they can.
Now, thats Cool

if you are gonna go custom you should do your homework. There is a lot more involved than you think.
