Stage 2 I think you mean? And stage 2 won't run properly with just a downpipe. Get a borla hush for a very stock look and quiet sound - its what I have and its fricken quiettt.

u could use the Borla "Hush" Exhaust - I've never dealt w/ it, but u'll still get the turbo back - which means the most from the Stage II Cobb - Go 2 www.fastwrx.com & listen 2 the exhaust - its not the same as in person - It will give u an idea

If you are going to just get a downpipe, I would recommend getting a protune so that the car doesnt run to rich and you get optimum performance without having the cat-back exhaust.
