Removing cats and getting a downpipe and testpipe is where to start...

Then search for exhaust upgrades, some people go with premade systems, others go with custom stuff.

Maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the Concept G is a turbo exhaust. It would probably work but NA and turbo exhaust tuning are very different.

I would go downpipe and either test pipe or high flow cat first, then catback. Either find a good exhaust shop around you to make one, otherwise Borla is always a good bet.

Just go to an exhaust place and have them make u one from scratch... I had my old N/A's exhaust done that way for 250 bucks from the cat back and it sounded so badass! Plus it took the guy only 2 hours to make so its fast. Go with 3" all the way back

custom is always good, I've got the borla with no mufflers and a 3sx DP and it sounds good. I'd like it to be louder, so im considering replacing the resonated tips (when they're off it sounds nasty ) either way for an NA I wouldn't do 3" back... 2.5" is good for a non turbo, anything really bigger than that and you'll lose torque and maybe a bit of power from the lack of backpressure... someone correct me if I'm wrong here but that's what I've been told several times.

not backpressure. let's nip that myth in the bud. it's been brought up 1,738,256 times. yes, 2.5" is good for an n/a. i'm even running that on my tt conversion right now (only 8psi).

this is what i recommend. hi-flow cat, NO testpipe.

Maximal Performance - Maximal Performance 2.5" NA Single Shot Exhaust

i have the same thing on my tt conversion. (chris, 3sx, is the mad scientist that made it work for me)
