Icon2 oem cat converter bad for turbo exhaust setup...

just wondering if installing an oem non highflow cat into my exhaust system
would hinder my performance once boosted...
-downpipe will be 2.75" (it's a weird size i know) rest of the exhaust will be
2.5" apexi...will a 2.5"inlet and 2.5"outlet cat clog me up, or will i be fine?
-i am only goin to run 8 pounds btw..

depending on what motor you will be running I see that the 2.5" exhaust will probably hinder you more then the cat.
