Default Cat Back Exhaust flow limitations

Guys I need input as far as to what exhaust system to get, I am thinking of getting the car up to 500 hp. The car is completely stock and I was wondering at what rear wheel HP will a catback be hurting my flow? I just want to have to replace the exhaust system once and be done with it until I can get the car to 500 hp.

Thanks for you input!

Any good flowing cat-back (3") will support you up to 450+. TD's won't hurt though even if you add them before you reach those power levels. You can always install a cut out with a cat-back set up.
