TRD Exhaust + Berk Front & Over pipes = Turbo Ready??
 
Apologies if I'm asking a dumb question here or missing anything, I did try searching but I could've easily missed something as I'm still learning about all the components and their names within the exhaust system for our car.

I have the TRD Exhaust and as I understand it, it's pretty much 2.5" throughout except for a small constriction point in the front-pipe area right before the resonator (reference) which is 2.1"

I've been considering going FI, which is usually highly recommended to have 2.5" Exhaust, but I love my TRD D-tips, so I was hoping to be able to swap between the header and muffler (which is the front pipe and over pipes?), so I'm at the 2.5" throughout (with the Turbo header swap from a kit, of course).

Berk seems like a good product and at a good price, so that's what I'm asking about here.

Thanks!

Wait are you asking if berk is a good product and price? Or if you should go larger diameter for turbo?

Neither actually...I'm asking if the portion of piping between the header and muffler (as I understand it, that's the over pipe and front pipes) can be swapped out so that I keep from the muffler back (to keep the tips of the TRD), but have the full 2.5" bore in-between (using the Berk over and front pipes).

I hope that makes sense?

Then yes

You also have the midpipe, but there are plenty of companies selling just frontpipe's out there which as long as your flanges match to a 2.5" pipe you should be good. Are you sure about the restriction? I don't now much about TRD but to sell a full 2.5" exhaust system and not have it be that the whole way seems silly.
