Default 3 inch on N/a setup

OK so i will eventually get turboed, but not for a few months.
Would it be bad to run the 3 inch set up for a while while i piece my kit together. ?
Any input would be appreciated.
thanks guys.

is it bad for the car though. i can deal with some power loss till i get the turbo.
or should i just go with a 2.75 or something

2.5 is big for the n/a.. so if you want to go turbo soon go with 3 inch or wait for it..... but dont waste money on exhaust now and do it again when u get turbo

its not gonna mess up your motor........and you dont need a 3 inch when your turbo....read the FAQ's in this section about the exhausts.

1. $500 is too much when other shops can do the same if not a better job for alot less.
2. you don't need a 3" exhaust, 2.5" will be the best way to go unless you wanna go ahead and try 2.75" but i'd still go with a 2.5"
3. if your not gonna be turbo'd for another 8 months then just wait until the time gets closer and save your money for the dezod exhaust http://www.dezod.com/pd_dezod_motors..._spipeback.cfm

I seriously hope you are not implying that we need backpressure...
what you will lose is exhaust velocity.

god damn man, that sux. ^ your car is going to be off the hook though when you get it done. I love the High Res videos that you have. wish more were like that. Anyway we can expect more high res videos when you are done and making some power ?
