if yoru gonna go turbo then just save your money up for that.

you will have to redo the exhaust again next year for the turbo so dont bother.

if you want to be able to resell the sytem when you go turbo then buy a bolt on sytem thats good quality and stainless, like the SP full system. once you go turbo you will need to get a larger exhaust system to increase the flow say 2.5\" where as with a NA car you want to keep it around 2.25\" so the car will have some back pressure (assuming you have a 1.8L) once you have a turbo.. it creates enough back pressure in itself for the motor and well the less restriction after the turbo the easier it is for it to spool up ( just dont go too far)

so basicaly... you have to options... save hard and live with what you have till you have the dollars for the full turbo setup.

buy a good stainless bolt on system such as the SP and alike from mania and once you go turbo, sell that and buy a system suited to a turbo.

oh.. sorry you have on other option. buy cat back system for a turbo and live it till you get the turbo :?

i'd go option 1 or 2 though...

1 being cheaper
2 being fun..er
