Default Good SS turbo cat back?

I currently got a APEXI N1, just got under the car today to take off my swap my header, and the welds are starting to rust. So im figuring once i get enough money, get a SS catback thats good for turbo b/c i will eventually add a turbo. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks guys.

Greddy makes a good stainless steel exhaust. Either the SP2 or Evo2 are fine for turbo and have completely stainless steel piping.

I run the Evo2 with turbo and I have had no problems with it.

You will not find anything rust proof, but stainless steel will resist rusting a little better than mild coated steel, so it would be a better investment to go with the stainless steel.

heres my opinion from experience: ditch the apexi an get a greddy.. i jus replaced my apexi exhaust with an evo2 because the n1 was caked with rust.. it eventually snapped away from the cat flange
