Turbo vs. Race Exhaust

Hey guys just a general question. I'm looking to buy an RSX soon, and was wondering what was the difference between a turbo and street exhaust. I'm going to get a greddy, and they have two options. I understand that the header and downpipe must be different but why would a cat-back system be different? I posted this here because I figure its a general question and I still drive a 7th gen civic .

Re: Turbo vs. Race Exhaust

Could you post up a link to the two exhausts?

A lot of what makes a a good exhaust is the quality of material and welds, the routing of the tubing makes a big difference as well since it determines the quality of flow.

It seems like the only difference is size. I will eventually go turbo but it wont be for a few years. Would I be better off getting the turbo one now or will it make a difference if its on a NA engine?

Re: Turbo vs. Race Exhaust

ask greddy if they would recommend them for NA. if piping is too big, you will see drop in lower RPM
connecting to current exhaust will take some work, naturally.
