i know the greddy evo2 is really bassy and isn't a loud fart -i've yet to hear an hks exhaust. though i did hear the hks has an exhaust that you don't really hear until after 3000rpm.... maybe thats for diff car - lol.

Yeah, I would get something wider than most of the aftermarket offerings. 2.5" or 3" would yield more power with quicker spool than a 60mm N/A exhaust. You should also consider upgrading the tiny 2" Greddy downpipe.

go with custom 3" mandrel bent piping, this way, even in the future if you decide to upgrade your turbo, you will still have the airflow. i am still a newby compared to schmoo and gssr when it comes to boost, but i know that much.

Your number one priority should be to get a wider downpipe fabricated. 2" is rediculously small for a turbo application. You will pay a whole lot less if you can get a 3" mandrel bent catback fabricated instead of going with the Greddy 70mm exhaust.
My best advice is to upgrade everything you can to make the current turbo run more efficiently and then upgrade it if you still aren't happy with its performance. You can also up the boost a little bit to squeeze some extra horsepower out of it.
BTW, what turbo are they providing with the EP3 kit? Is it the 18G?
