All a matter of what you want. I wanted a turbo back so I bought an APS 3-inch system and never once have I regreted my decision. There is so many options so figure your goals for your car and research. If you find something you like don't hesitate to post a thread with concerns you might have. Good luck

Most will suggest helix if you're no concerned about money. If you want a save a few bucks, the HKS is a great DP for the stock turbo.
As for exhaust, it really depends on what sound you're shooting for.

I bought a turboback just for the fact that I wouldnt have to mismatch parts, but downpipe, catback systems work great too. It really depends on your budget and sound preference. For the most performance, go catless and with full 3 inch piping.
Before doing a turboback/downpipe, I would recomend a catless uppipe and intercooler hoses. Quicker turbo spool, more airflow and the turbo is safe from sucking in chunks of catalytic converter.

A very nice set up would be:
stock DP
3rd cat delete pipe
Stromung Dual Tip Cat-back
You will be very happy
If you PM me with your I can send you some photo later tonight.
I'm running a full Perrin Turbo-back now and It's LOUD!

The Helix catback is quite popular and it sounds great (a bit loud though). You'll be able to get roughly 25-30whp with a Helix uppipe and full Helix turboback exhaust.
Here's a pic.
Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks,
Preston
