If you install that exhaust your boost level will almost certainly rise to the point where fuel cut is activated (8.6psi) because the S4's wastegate is too small to control boost properly once you increase exhaust flow. You need to remove the turbo and port the wastegate as big as possible to prevent this. This will allow you to keep boost below the point of fuel cut. If you want more than 8.6psi you need to install a fuel cut defender (FCD), but you should not do this without at least upgrading the fuel pump.

Depends on the rest of the exhaust as well. If you have a hi-flow cat, and a really restrictive exhaust it'll control it. Just depends on your exhaust flow overall. cat's will severly screw some exhaust flow up. Therefore keeping boost under control. . Just port out your wastegate. Pretty easy. Find a write-up around hear somewhere and follow it. Completely fool-proof.

seriouslt thats a nice exhaust system and all but i know from experiance that the doul exhaust setup is way to damn heavy for these cars and in the long run more restrictive because it has a y pip set up .. so its more cosmetic thaNanything .... i know from experiance that a free flowing exhaust with 3 inch pipe racing beat header and freeflow ractive apex i muffler both saves weight and adds hp and lbft of tq .... i had a dyno slip of my car and with the simple exhaust mod im pushing not 210 hp and 200 to the wheels .... dont ask how .. oh and i have k&n ... but with stok intake .. so not much difference ...
so my point is ... jst go custom single 3 inch and ull be happier

Way too damn heavy? The weight difference is well under 1% of the car's total weight. If you think you'll notice that you're kidding yourself. You add several times more weight than that filling the gas tank.
More restrictive? You need to learn about how pipe sizing affects flow far more than a Y; specifically how two correctly-sized pipes car easily outflow a single pipe.

after reading through the forums a good amount it seems like a decent amount of people r putting exhaust on the turbo II and not porting the wastegate or putting a fcd on right away atleast...
is this a must need...? as u can see i really want a new full exhaust system but AS OF RIGHT NOW, i wanna stay away from having to port the wastegate and install a fcd and fuel pump.

If you NEVER drive it hard, you will be fine without a FCD/wastegate port. However, first time you hit the gas hard in the upper rev range, especially in 4th or 5th gear, you are going to hit fuel cut, which is rather unhealthy for your engine. If you are not comfortable doing the WG port (and it is really easy, and this is coming from someone who had never used a die grinder before I di my WG), just rig up the FCD, as that is quite easy to do. However, that brings about a whole new series of potential engine hazards, as it is easy to end up with more boost than you have fuel with just the FCD.
