Default 850 t5r needs exhaust

My t5r has the stock exhaust still. The rear hangers are rusting off and the tip is rusting and falling apart. I want to change it. I am able to get a supersprint exhaust for it. Wondering if anyone has any advice. I have had Supersprint pieces before on my bmw and audi in the past and was happy with the sound. I want to make sure i do not mess up anything with back pressure and the fact that the supersprint gets rid of the stock suitcase muffler and the stock one looks around 2.5 inches and the supersprint is around 2 inches wide. Thanks for help.

HAHA. I got that message too a couple days ago. I'm installing an OBX exhaust this weekend hopefully and there will be a write up for it. My first impressions though were that I couldn't beleive I only paid 480 dollars for this exhaust that looks like a thousand dollar exhaust.

turbos dont want backpressure. no car really wants backpressure.

3" downpipe to 2.5" exhaust. 3" tubroback is the way to go.
