Lancer-oz. Any cat-back system will be fine. A lot of people on these boards run 2.5" cat back systems and say it's the preferred system to run. Please do some research before you start buying anything to turbo your car. You really need to bone up on terminology and need to better understand the mechanics of a turbo. www.howstuffworks.com is an excellent site and covers the basics of how automobiles work. That book I mentioned earlier, "Maximum Boost" is written by one of the most knowlegable people on turbo chargers I know of.

lancer oz Im at 4g's and keeps going up... if you dont want the headache of dealing with tuning and all that go rrm but if your really looking for a custom set up go for it but its going to be a pain in the butt, as most of us know already
