From what I can tell, most people(including myself) use a MBRP exhaust. Whether or not you keep the cat and/or muffler will depend on you and what you may or may not have to deal with.

I would suggest not getting bigger then 4"s as that would actually be counterproductive unless you plan on some major performance mods beyond the usual tuner.

You didn't mention this, but I'll throw it out there for what it's worth. Don't do an intake either(if you haven't already) as that won't net you anything and might actually cause "pain" later on.

What's wrong with a little "dusted" turbo. It just allows you to spend more money and get a new big one.

I agree with MBRP and it's what i'm running now and have been for about 3 years. Had the Banks Monster and took it off and gave it away. Started rusting and such after just one winter with some snow and salt. MBRP still looks and sounds great, don't regret my decision at all other than the money i wasted on the initial purchase of the Banks crap.

I have an MKO power 5" turbo back and love the way it sounds but I may be at a slightly higher level of power than what you plan

I wouldn't buy it just based on price alone. That reminds me of why some people got tuners.

"I got a really good deal on the Edge Juice, so I got it". Doesn't make it any better at a cheaper price if there is something fundamentally wrong with it. I am not saying that it's the case here, just using that with regard to going off of price alone.
