Turbo Exhaust

Alright I plan on being boosted within the next year. I currently have a stock exhaust setup. With 200whp set in sight, do you guys recommend upgrading to a 3" downpipe or will the 2.5 be large enough. Whichever size downpipe I decide to go with, I plan on matching the midsection with it. Also, since its going to be custom piping, would you get the exhaust made before you install the turbo or wait until after the turbo is installed so they can fit everything a little more accurately?

for 200whp........ 2.5" is find.....if you plan on going with more mods, then the 3" would be better. With a 3" downpipe.......you will need to get a custom exhaust right away. I have a 2.5" downpipe with stock piping and a muffler.......i am going to get 2.75" custom piping.

there is no point in getting a 3 in DP right now, and its not worth getting a 3in exhaust right now, get everything when the turbo goes on, u DONT WANT TO HAVE TO MAKE THINGS TWICE
