I freaking love this exhaust.... I am NA for now, but turbo later, so I don't want to put an na exhaust I don't like... But if I put a GT Spec on my NA will I lose major power? I wouldn't even care if my power stayed the same, I just love this exhaust.

i'd say you'd lose alot of your low end power, i dont know about high end. it might be better, it might be the same. i suggest just waiting till u go turbo and do both at once. its a nice exhaust though

actually yes you could lose power, though i don't know how likely it is.  Power is gained or lost through a change in backpressure or a change in exhaust gas velocity.  Remember you're ultimate goal is to suck in as much air as you can as fast as you can then spit it back out just as fast.  A pipe diameter that is too large slows down gas velocity, though it does reduce backpressure so i'm not sure exactly what kind of power change you would experience.  But whatever it is, i wouldn't think it would be significant.

would a normal Apexi N1 dual or single take away from body end power?

i have the gt spec on my 96 s14 and i noticed a little power loss in the low end but also gained alittle more top end it feels like it pulls more towards 5500 overall it feels better than stock i juss have the exhaust and a k+n drop in filter.  gonna order my turbo hopefully by the end of this month thats why i chose this exhaust 2.75 then turns into 3.00 and plus the whole exhuast system is stainless steel, (can u say bling bling) well worth the money!
