A stock exhaust might not be any more resrictive than your crushbent 2.5". I'll repeat what others have said. Your current exhaust will sound completely different with a turbo that with your super. Don't change anything until you get that kit on. See if what you have is OK 1st.

+1 to get the turbo on first. Cops won't give a second look to a 2.5" free-flow muffler if you aren't constantly on the boost. The turbo is WAY more conspicuous than the exhaust is.

by the way, that crush-bent 2.5" REALLY made a lot of difference with my supercharger. it really became considerably quicker w/ stock pulley. dont know how it performed with 62.5mm pulley because i shredded a belt next day after pulley installation and didnt drive car since :/
i did push it pretty hard few times with new pulley and of course it was way faster but i never redlined it past 2nd gear to really see how good it became

what you do is open up the stock exhaust slide the straight pipe through it, drill a **** load of holes in the straight pipe and wrap it with housing insluation, then put it back in the stock muffler body. it will work like a cherry bomb and look completely stock, that and with the turbo on you shouldn't have a problem. just make sure you patch it up good so the smog tech doesn't look at it too closely.
