exhaust system for turbo

planning on getting a forced air tech stage 3 turbo kit but i want to already have my whole exhaust system ready to handle it months before , because it may be awhile and i dont want to wait around with stock exhaust system, would it be a good idea to get a straight 2 1/2 inch pipe from the cat back the kit comes with a 2 1/2 inch cat section would i just bolt that up upon receiving the kit and have the exhaust ready to roll and being capable to handle the boost as well as making best use of it , enough back pressure, ect ect

3" exhaust. Make it, then keep it in the garage until you've got the turbo kit installed

With an RS-T I would highly suggest either using all WRX-intended piping + the crossmember, OR waiting until you have the kit and having a custom up and downpipe made for whatever headers and exhaust you want to use.
