yep....The car will run and not feel too different, but it will be noticable. I'd say get it so then you are forced to get that turbo

just go with the 3", no point in losing money on buying one exhaust, selling it, and buying another one.

Just do the 3", no need to waste money on multiple exhaust's. Thats what I did, I have been runnin 3" na for about 2 weeks now. I noticed some loss but not enough to worry about it....

Power wise I agree totally. I couldn't really feel a difference.. The 3" is noticeably louder than 2.5" though, and prepare for ear splitting loud if you have no cat.

well if u were thinking of getting the world sport then changing it later, why dont u just leave whatever is on there now and get the kteller exhaust at the same time as putting on your turbo.

i'm gonna see if it will pass emissions if i beat on the car and get the turbo really hot.

i know people have passed that way before.

i LOVE my big exhaust. didnt even bother me when i was NA.
