I think everyone keeps suggesting that you run a midpipe because in your OP you said you want more power. A cat back alone wont really do that. Replacing the midpipe is where you can get what little power is available in the exhaust, however any catless midpipe will make the car louder.
This must have been moved to series 2 and I dont know why.. I swear it was in series 1 and thats why I could not find the thread. I could be wrong though.
EDIT:
Yea this HAD to have been moved here, I did not put this in an after market section the first time (it was in series one, exterior) and this is certainly not for S2.

I think I have decided to just F'ing go for it......You only live once. Going to run with the cat on for now maybe until I can find a decently priced and quality high flow cat.
I think either way, it's going to make the car sound much better than stock.
Now to get my refund checks, and find a time to pick one up unless they'll ship to me for free

Full TurboXS setup:
definetly drones and annoying

TurboXS with OEM Cat:
Much quieter and comfortable cruising around but has a nice deep tune sound.

With the cat on, when idling it sound much better (quieter) but when you step on it have a nice tone!!!

My TurboXS sounded sick with the OEM cat installed, but it leaked even with a brand new gasket.. 
If you can go that route though, I definitely recommend it - I put my race pipe up for sale for $140 OBO and had numerous inquiries, so you can get some of your money back fairly easily.

Reasonably quiet with a little burble at idle - so you could actually hear it, unlike stock.
Through the RPM range it was pretty quiet, with a nice tuned sound. Loud at WOT, but no drone normally. I didn't drive the car with the OEM cat/TurboXS cat back, but with the door and window closed it sounded good without being annoying.

i like running with the cat not the race pipe. race pipe makes it sound as if you are going 100mph when you are only going like 5mph. plus i dont like my engine light on all the time. hard to tell when there is a real problem vs it just being because there is no cat.

i love my turbo xs
yea there is the droning but its not as bad as it seems depending on wat kind of person u are
also did use my cat with the exhaust and it does sound great, deeper tone
its all on ur preferences man
id go with the catless option and enjoy it
im loving mine but the fumes r getting to me, keep the smell in mind
