Default HKS CARBON TI

Hey I am currently using the tanabe SMR exhaust system, but i decided to get the HKS carbon TI. I was wondering if anyone can help me decide between the turbo version or the n/a. I was planning to put a comptech supercharger on it, and was wondering if a three inch piping would be useful or just a waist of money.

it's a bit much for a N/A engine, you'll have no available backpressure, which would hurt your lowend power

No reduction in backpressure does not hurt power and torque. It's a myth. Reduction in exhaust velocity is another story.
