Exhaust on a stock engine

Would it be plain stupid of me to get a 2.5" catted downpipe and a 2.5" catted exhaust and have it all hooked up before I got the supercharger for my car? I don't like the sound of the stock flared exhaust on my car, it seems to rattle a little. So, opinions?

Great! I realized I have no use for a turbo in my car as I live in a more city area. So now I had to decide whether to get the downpipe and exhaust now or all 3 parts later.

why would it sound bad? If you get a cat you should be fine.

Before you take that advice you'd best be sure that's as true in Pittsburgh as it may be in Pharr, Texas. Otherwise you'll be back here in a couple of weeks complaining that you failed emissions.


Beyond that, what they're telling you is true. It's never a bad time to put a good sounding exhaust on the car.

I think you have to have a cat to pass no matter where you live. Most people just put their stock downpipe on when they go get inspections.
