Best Exhaust For Turbo Application?

I've been doing alot of looking around, aswell as searching through the forums and I can't come to terms on an exhuast for my car. (04 RX-8)

I recently just bought a Greddy turbo kit, HKS EVC IV boost controller, turbo timer and whole bunch of other parts but I can't decide on an exhuast.

Any recommendations?

True 3 inch piping is what you need. Whether or not you gut the cat makes the biggest difference

The best exhaust out there I think is the Turbo XS Full 3 inch exhaust with race pipe. The only thing is you gotta extend the tips about 2.5 to 3.5 inches out! Thats the set up I'm running!

So do you just ask the shop/installer to do this? (exhaust noob question)

The HKS Hi-Power is a single outlet and just a hair smaller than 3" diameter. I have it on my car and love it.
