Catback or Turboback?

[longsock]

Hey guys, I wanna know your opinions about what kind of exhaust I should put my Jetta. Its an 03 1.8T, I'm planning on chipping it, do an intake and exhaust for now what do you think would be best? Turboback or catback exhaust? 2.5" or 3"?

I have a 2.5'' catback on mine. I like the sound it puts out. Eventually, i will buy the downpipe for it though. I guess it all depends on what your looking to get out of it, and the money your willing to spend.

Ya, if you dont reallyplan on any BT set-up i would just say turbo back 2.5. If you plan on making some power. 3inch would be nice. Really comes down to what you want/spend.
