Default Front mount turbo exhaust question

Might be in the wrong forum since it is an exhaust question.

What are you guys who are running front mount turbos using for exhaust?

I'm gonna go with the Corsa Sport I already have on my truck. Should be minimal if any back pressure at the boost levels I'll be running at. Plan is to adapt from down pipe to the muffler itself eliminating the stock flange. We'll see how that works and go from there...

I was wondering if going with the diesel system would be a good idea. Nice and big!

You will want the highest flowing system. This will give you the least back pressure, and get the exhaust away from the turbo....

Why not run a cut-out that way you'll get the greatest pressure difference when you really want to hammer on it?

Do you have any pics of the 5" 8ALTNG? Bigger is better, but many turbo C5 corvettes use dual 2.5" cat back systems and still make 700+ HP.
