Default Need exhaust help 2012 5.0

Hello everyone, I just bought a 5.0 and installed the Roush Cat Back exhaust on it and was very pleased with the sound. Now I wanted to install the
Off Road X Pipe by UPR Products and was wondering if these two parts can co-exist and if anyone already has this done. How does it sound? And ofcourse I will do the retune along with the installation of the X Pipe. Also, I know my cats will be off and I will be riding around illegal for a while but when I boost the car and add the turbo will that system be okay? Or will I still not meet the emission standards?

the x-pipes will replace the cat back you have.

you can still have cats with the x-pipe. Just gotta cut/weld them in.

I would wait until after you turbo the car to even mess with the exhaust further, as you'll probably want a bigger exhaust to go with the turbo.

also I believe you don't even have to get emissions tested until car is at least 4 years old. Just check on the laws in your area.

So the exhaust I have isn't compatible with the x pipe

no. You could probably re-use your current mufflers and tips if you don't like the ones that come with the x-pipe setup.

I want to go with the turbo option but the roush cat back system was expensive. I thought I had the axle back one this kinda threw a wrench in my plans. I had someone get it for me so I coul get a better price. Any ideas with what I could mix up? I still can return the pipe if needed
