I went with the Invidia bellmouth downpipe and a Blitz Nur Spec R Cat Back. Deep+Loud times 3! Its insane, and living in Cali it's a blessing i havent been pulled over yet. One peice of advice tho, if you have a 02-05 wait till you have the money to buy an up pipe at the same time, because you have to disconect the down pipe to get it on anyways and its gonna save you a lot of time. It's probably for the money, one of the single best things you can do to get the best perfomance out of your turbo. Big difference. Plus its safer, dont want peices of your pre-cat fallin out and damaging your turbo...rare but can happen.

If you decide to buy one brand downpipe and another brand cat back check to make sure they are compatible first. Some brands have different diameter pipe. I got an invidia bellmouth downpipe with a borla hush cat back and i needed an adapter piece. As far as turboxs goes i think thier stuff is'nt compatible with other brands.

Yeah, so like the Tanabe TBE is a 80mm, so like that 80mm DP wouldn't fit with the HKS CBE @ 75mm?

It doesn't really matter to me about that. My brother works at an exhaust shop, he can easily do up my whole exhaust in like 30-45minutes. But yeah, i'll probably try to get everything at one time. Well, exhaust that is. Everything else will come in slowly. Like intake, injectors, fuel pump, etc...
sorry to probably ask a dumb question, but if you were to get the Cobb DP and whatever type of Cat Back, wouldn't there still be one piece missing? Cause isn't the Cobb TBE exhaust a downpipe, then a high flow cat or str8 pipe, followed by the cat back. Or could you just use the stock cat?
^^Catbacks come with that middle pipe. So it just becomes the DP, then the CBE in 2 pieces. Your probably just thinking of the axle back which is only the piece with the muffler.
i'm kinda leaning towards the HKS Hi-Power CBE and the Invidia DP combo... Because the Invidia is a bellmouth, it's supposedly reliable and good quality, and will bolt up to the HKS CBE, and the HKS CBE is good-looking IMO. Hopefully it will sound cool
