Glen Burnie / Balt,
I'm not sure but i remember someone tellin me that anything over 3inch isn't good because you will loose backpressure. The reason i ask is because RNR now offers a 3.5turboback for about the same as regular 3inch. I will definately get it if there is no drawbacks. But i do remember someone saying you can go too big.
 
An exhaust that big is really only necessary if you're making HUGE amounts of power. I doubt you'd see any gain going that large. You will be fine with the 3".
 
backpressure is a nonissue with turbo cars. the turbo provides all the back pressure needed so you can get as big of an exhaust as you want. 2.5" will get you into the 12's. 3" will get you quite a bit further and very few people need 3.5"

Actually 2.5 will be you into the 11's, 3" will get you into the 10's.....
 
how bout 4" or 5"
 
if your making enough power to require a 3.5 inch you might as well run a pipe out the side of ur front bumper :)
 
The best exhaust for a turbo car is none at all. Like it was said above the turbo supplies all the back pressure that the car needs. If it's a 3.5" Downpipe, You will have to get an oil filter relocation kit, unless you want to drop the downpipe every time you change the oil. Also on a lowered car that exhaust would get trashed. I mean if it was a all out track car that you want to run in street class, Then go for it. But for a daily driver I would highly advise you don't do it.
