Agreed. Piggies and stock cat-back is the most economical set-up if you don't ever plan on doing more than chipping the car.

Well, if you're cost conscious, or don't have the $$$ to do the full turbo back, doing d/p's will give you the most bang for the buck, performance wise!
D/p's will give something in the 10-15hp range on stock turbos, and a cat back might give 5hp if you're lucky.

Doing piggies and catback might be a better choice, but having to take the stock d/p's off and drilling out the cores is a hassle - might as well pick up a set of 3' for a couple of hundred and do it right.
