i plan on going ka-t sometime soon, gonna get catback, either ni single, hks, or jic all single canister because my bumper is cut to except single canisters at a slant. dont feel like buying n/a and then having to get turbo in the future, would it make much difference to buy turbo catback now while on a n/a(sound-performance)? also does anyone recomend a certain catback system, not too loud, good performance.

any catback with piping larger than 2.25 (2.5 might be acceptable, but it's REALLY pushing it) will be LOUD.  Not like, "gee, I need to turn my stereo up" loud... I mean, "hey look, the cops are pulling me over" loud.  If you REALLY think it's realistic that you'll be adding a turbo, just wait til then, put the $ in savings and earn interest on it.... otherwise you'll be buying a N/A exhaust, and then selling it on ebay or something (but who knows, that might be what you want to do if you don't think you'll be turbo'd for a while)

Hope that helps <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

If your wanting to get the exhaust now, consider one that you can get a silencer with it.  Im NA on my KA right now (hehe, that sounds funny) with a N1 dual but the silencer made it quiet as a sleeping baby.  I swear it compares to stock volume right now.

What about makein your own customn exhaust for now. Like when i get my 240 im getting madrel bent pipe 2.50 or 2.75 not sure yet, and a carbon fiber exhaust with a 4 inch tip. And when u get your turbo u can sell or throw away your $200 custumn exhaust

Yeah custom's a good idea.  I guess youd have to get a shop to do it hey?

not a bad idea, minus the ricey carbon fiber (wrapped), muffler and 4" folgers tip (seriously, we DO NOT want our cars to sound like farting civics&#33<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

you don't wanna go higher than 2.5 or have fun being hassled by the popo for having a LOUD ass car... not, "damn that sounds smooth" loud, I mean "jesus that guy needs to get a new muffler for that loudass thing!"-LOUD. Hope you have a deafening stereo to drown that out.

Point being, if you just need something cheap, stay stock or get some cheapie universal pipe and have midas make u a crush bent pipe... shouldn't run you more than $100 all together (unless you want the useless carbon fiber wrapped muffler)... then you can get a real exhaust after you're turbo and sell the old muffler on ebay <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
