Hi, I just purchased a standard vl turbo and not sure what size exhaust to use on my set up for best results. I will be looking at getting a full stainless from and including cat. Will a 3 inch be fine with a standard set up as eventually I will be improving the motor. Any brands of mufflers and cats to look for?
Thanks

Will a 3" set up make it run like crap on a standard turbo engine set up? I will be driving it with a standard engine for a while , no intercooler ect. Cheers.

turbo's love large exhausts and don't need back pressure, stock or modded
plus the turbo actually acts as a muffler making them nice and quiet

If budgets an issue, don't bother with stainless.

Just got a few prices (around $850 for mild steel) high flow cats and muffler all in 3". Any brands of cat and mufflers to look for or are they all the same in terms of performance gain?
