Default finally time for exhaust!!!

Looking to upgrade my exhaust but I have some questions first.
-whats the max size advised for my n/a 05 touring
-i want to have a deep and throaty sound but not like a damestic car and also keep the vq or maybe sound like a ferrari or porshe if possible and I know big disp. euro cars sound different
-is true dual exhaust better for performance
-will high flow cats really change the sound or performance much
-how will a x pipe affect sound and performance
-and any general advice and i do take my cars to tracks and shows so keep that in mind

this is my first dual head car too, I've had a 95 civic,94 toyota pu,98 240(always will be a nissan fan),and 05 sti but parts for a z are a little more expensive so i can not play around as much with the exhaust so i need to know and compare before really buying anything
all advice is well appreciated and thanks in advance

All of your questions have been asked before, and are in this sub-forum. I'm not going to look up the answers for you though.

Be patient. One of our sponsors will soon be here with the best exhaust. Prices too low to mention.

Seriously, though, this is my favorite system, same as the Nismo S-Tune, btw.

Heres a picture of our complete V2 Ark Grip exhaust.
A true dual would be better as far as gains an performance due to it being less restrictive. An X flow mid pipe would be used for the exhaust fumes to take the fastes way out, as well as securing a bolder vq note. We use our dual canister technology and resonated x flow mid pipe to minimize drone without having to compromise performance. Let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome to the land of being slow unless you put a crazy amount of money into it. Here's my $0.02 with this car. Shoulda kept your S14 or STI as your "fun" car lol! All the mods you'll be doing are probably just for aesthetic and sound improvement. Performance gains will be minimal at the very least. The car is as slow as it's ever gonna be. Your first and only breathing mod should be boost if you want to see/feel any real gains lol. I'm sure not a lot will agree with me, but in the past I put maybe 1k into my swapped S13 for a garrett ball bearing turbo and ended up with a motor capable of putting out 400. Here a similarly priced exhaust and you'll get like 5 mysterious hp only proven on a dyno lol.

what are your plans for the car in the future? Show, speed and performance, what? You should figure out an ultimate goal for the car, then by parts based on that.
