Ok i'm going to get my exhaust done tom. I have a 92 s13 just to set that staight. Ok I'm going to get 3" piping from the header back. No cat. no resognator(spelling). I will put an Es tuning 2.25" exhaust on it. The reason: When i go turbo i'm hoping all I will have to do i hack the ES muffler off and get a turbo N1. Will my KA really suffer from 3" piping with a 2.25" exhaust? If so maybe i will get 2.5" piping but I'm broke and dont want to have to do the exuast twice so im hoping the 3" pipe with 2.25" exhaust will work. The exhuast looks stock. Will it be hella loud? Please any input before friday. I'm leaving early in the morning so I would like to get some opinions before i potentially waste my time and money.

Yeah...its gonna be "hella loud" for what its worth, I strongly suggest at least getting a resonator, your piping plan isn't too bad though, I dont think it'll be a big problem at all to do what your saying.

How much is this gonna cost you?

3" piping to a 2.25 muffler? How are you thinking they'll "step-down" the piping? Also, if that's the muffler you're getting, it's not a very good one.

Why are you removing the cat? Hope you don't ever get cited, it's a fat fine.

Adding a resonator is a good idea if you're ever gonna run a header.

Lastly, don't fell for the common misconception that you HAVE to have 3" if you're going turbo. A nice 2.5" system will be fine up to 300+ hp, which I don't think you're planning on exceeding.

Why not just order a system that you KNOW will work well? We sell a nice system as low as $320, and it's been tuned and dyno tested to work together.

i have an apexi n1 dual for the s13 for sale. it works well with both n/a and turbo, and will look and sound ALOT nicer than the plans you have. plus, it is 100% bolt on in under an hour. the link is here, and the new price is 350 shipped.
