exhuast/header/downpipe/cat combo

I'm planning on getting the kamikaze header and downpipe. Then i was going to take out my cats and replace it with a test pipe made by either RMR or Magnaflow. I was wondering what catback would be best for this...Magnaflow or Greddy? Which will be deeper and louder? Also, will the kamikaze 2.5in downpipe and the size of the Greddy or Magnaflow Catback be big enough to be compatible with a turbo if i was to get one later? Also if you guys have websites with best prices that would be appreciated.

2.5 is really good if your planning to do turbo later. I got my Magnaflow from roadrace for 400 bucks. Im really impressed by the sound and gains. You could get either gains are about the same on both and besides the magna is stainless steal and GReddy isnt. Just look at the website.

are you positive you wanna turbo? and how soon? because with the 2.5 you lose a lot of your lower end, even though u feel it a lot more in higher speeds

i had stock header and DP, 2.5" test pipe and 2.5" buschur catback and not only did it sound AWESOME but I lost NO low end power and definately gained mid+high end power.

I just put my RRM header on and have noticed a little low-end loss. the performace once I hit 2000 rpm+ is definately worth it. now to get a DP. i'm gonna go either buschur or have one made, haven't decided yet.

my thoughts are, your gonna get about the same performance and sound from either greddy or magnaflow exhaust .. get the least expensive one and buy some more mods. That is, unless you want the "greddy bragging rights", which I don't think is that important ..
