Jazz, without wishing to sound disrespectful, have you ever owned (and clocked 10k+ miles) on a 400hp RWD car before? You're a young chap so can't imagine you've been through too many winters with high powered cars.

 

If you're new to very high power RWD cars then I really don't think it's wise to think about fitting a single turbo.

Regarding the exhaust, if you're going for a single later on in your driving career (hopefuly!), you should look for large size straight pipes. The HKS and Greddy Ti are superb quality and light, also the Tannabe but this is heavier. Not sure about the NUR, its 3inch so may be a little small for the bigger power singles, it is SS (a good thing) but ground clearance is poor.

 

RSR's, Superdraggers and the rest of the mild steel pipes should be avoided.

 

For me there's no contest - the boostlogic 4in is (IMO) superb. The best exhaust note, very straight (can be mated to boostlogic mid & down pipe) and is lightweight

 

For the IC, i'd go with Greddy or HKS, 2 or 3 row. They are all excellent quality design and will come with the correct hardpipes. The XS power and other cheap 'Chinese' makes I've seen have been poor quality with tiny end tanks, can't be good for flow. Best avoided if you are serious about going for real power.

Jazz, one of the local guys here (board name Scooby) has a HKS Ti. It sounds feckin awesome on a stock turbo'd car with a decat. Though quieter the overall sound is nicer than my RSR - more 'rorty' than just extremely loud burble if you know what i mean?

 

As mentioned before, on a single nothing beats the BL for sound :D
