Cat back turbo back
For turbo cars can you use the same muffler thats on your n/a engines? I will be turboing my car in the future but for now I want an aftermarket muffler is there any that I can use for both systems. Which will work well

Generally speaking, the turbocharger itself acts as an extremely effective muffler. The SRT-4 for example, doesn't use a muffler... I think it's got a couple expansion chambers to keep the noise down. Using a muffler designed for turbo applications on an NA car will be VERY LOUD! Using an NA muffler on a turbo application will be quieter than stock... but the muffler will be more restrictive and you'll sacrifice a small amount of power.
I've got 2.25" Borla Duals installed well before I decided on boost... and I'm probably down about 10-15whp compared to a 3" system. But I'm also running a test pipe in place of a cat to help compensate. I'm not all that bummed though... as QUIET=STEALTH, which I'm all about.
