Is it worth going with a turbo back? I've had the 3in catback before and I'll live noticed it an increse in sound.

Well, that depends. If you're going to stay stock then no, a 3" TBE is a bit excessive. A nice 2.5" would be good though.

Now if you plan to mod the Leggy, bigger turbo ect.., then yes, a 3" TBE is a sound investment and is really a neccesity.

Ditto.

When I did my header and turbo back, I didnt neccesarilly get more power. The turbo kicked in about 500RMPS earlier, and the power hangs on till about 6 grand.

Then I cranked up the boost, and opened the intake, and got more power.

+50whp.

Seriously, I couldn't make the power I do with a 2.5" exhaust, I don't think.

Remember, I made peak torque at 3100rpm, that's only like 500 rpms past stock and that's at the wheels, and that's nearly DOUBLE stock numbers.
