N/A and Turbo Exhaust Question

If a cat-back system says like "for turbo..." can it be used on a N/A FC?

Hold the phone...

Yes it CAN be used, but depending on manufacturer, it may be a little big for an NA. You can loose power by going too big.

i forgot to say that lol. the gt2 is a 3 inch if i remember correctly. the thing with that is you have that big of an exhaust on a stock na motor(i presume) you will lose power. my suggestion is try to go with 2.5 in at biggest.

Ok, well i was thinking of doing other things besides a cat-back. Like an intake, headers, pre-silencer.... Plus I'd like to do a TII swap in the future maybe.
