Default Advice on Exhaust

Someone offer me a chance to get a used but in perfect condition DC Sports stainless steel 2.5" full cat back exhaust for $175. Is this a good deal worth taking? Will this be a big enough my turbo setup(t25 around 7psi, but later want to max at 12psi).

Yup, 2.5 is plenty big for your setup, that is what our Turbo z6 hatch uses, a custom 2.5 setup...I do recommend removing the cat convertor though.

175 sounds pretty fair,

If I just kept stock exhaust would my turbo run like crap?

It would work, but I recommend upgrading asap, I have ran a few cars with stock exhaust and turbo.. its pretty doggy.

Do I have to replace the cat asap as well or can I wait on that. Do you guys have any test pipe sort pieces or could make one, just give me a price.

Sorry we dont sell anything...

You dont have to do anything to your exhaust system if you dont want to.. I am just trying to explain to you, that your car will run better with a "Free Flowing exhaust" some people keep cats, some dont.. I personally think they are a huge restriction.

check out www.testpipe.com they are kinda spendy though.
