Default Boost (Turbo) + Skunk 2 Catback

I was wondering if anyone had any experience using the skunk2 cat back and a turbo setup? This is the exhaust that is sitting in my basement and I wanted to know if its going to provide any issues when I go turbo? Hopefully it doesn't sound like ____...

I use the Skunk 2 and it sounds fine very quiet actually until you get into boost and it comes alive. But I dont know how restrictive it is and Im going 3in piping when I build the motor and Im going to use a Skunk2 universal muffler

I almost never hear a bad sounding exhaust because the turbo itself acts a lot like a muffler, eliminating rasp in almost any turbo setup.

Any exhaust is better than no exhaust but I would suggest looking at a 2.5" turbo back down the road. You will get a little bit more power, without putting any extra stain on the motor. That's the beauty of turbos, exhaust upgrades make more power, but the engine isn't being pushed any harder, which is why exhaust upgrades are one of the best things to do on a turbo.
