Okay... when I go turbo do I have to change my exhaust? II really don;t know whats on there now... (it was on there when I bought it... But I do know there is no Cat Conv. I can see the test pipe under there... the Tip is 4" and the piping is 3' what would I have to do after turboing? Thanks!

if you do have a 3" exhaust on a n/a car, your KILLING your hp and tq.
^ yea... My turbo exhaust is only 2.5" (no cat/no resonator) but still if you have 3" on an N/A non built motor... thats just such a waste of pipe.
no, you do not have to change your exhaust when you go turbo. the only part of the exhaust that you will have to worry about is the downpipe.
Well thats what was on there when I bought it So I guess I'll just leave it be.... I don;t need the cat or a "cat back" system or anything like that then....what I got well work?
So maybe thats why I feel more pull taching high?io_303 said:

Heh,
First of all are you asking if you HAVE to or if you SHOULD for performance? No, you do not have to. Should you? Most definetly unless you laready have large diameter piping. Exhaust is a very serious upgrade for a turbo car and can give large bonus HP.
Next, it's up to you if you'd like a silencer, turbo cars usually are louder based on the extra pressure pushing through the motor and out the back, might want to go for it though.
Hope that helps.
