Need options on a 2 1/2" exhaust

I'm looking around for a 2 1/2" exhaust. I currently have a 3" n1, but i probably wont be turbod for a while. I'm starting to save! So i might keep it. Where do they got some good prices for turbos?
Do you think it would be better just to keep my exhaust so when i get my turbo i got it, or is a 2 1/2" exhaust good for a turbo to?

depends on a lot of different things...like compression, what cams you're using, exhaust, intake, turbo, ect.. But I would say aroud 220 on a stock engine maybe?

no it doesn't...it just feels liek that because of the higher rpm gain... mine feels the same way, but put stock back on, then compare... I wouldn't waste the money on 2.5 if you already have 3"...

yeah thats why i want a 2 1/2
i want the low end power. WHAT CAN I DO TO HAVE LOW END POWER lol. I'm not a fan of highs, theres only so many times you can hit those high end power bands, but lows you always need

i'm saying... your'e not loosing any low end power, it just seems to feel that way because the power hits you harder than stock exhaust.. but its your money.. you're not going to notice much difference from 3" to 2.5" I would imagine... so just use that money for your turbo project.
