Default exhaust set up question

Currently I have an hks axle back with a stock mid pipe and cherrybomb. I don't have the money to afford a turbo so I was thinking of adding a mid pipe and maybe s pipe. My question is what would be a good combination to get a deep clean sound with a hks axle back? would it be worth getting a s pipe or would I be good just getting a 2.5 mid pipe. Thanks

No header at all. I Wanna get a good clean loud exhaust tone. And with a hks axle back I'm wondering what is the best way to do that while keeping my stock header.

get rid of cherry bomb,thgat is the first problem,they are designed to make rasp.....long story short.

get actual resonators and you will lose the rasp you are getting,I have header and resonators with hand made mid pipe and HKS and nearly no rasp at all.

alright thanks, lets say i get ride of the cherrybomb and get a midpipe would that do the job of giving me a deeper exhaust note? or would I need a s pipe too? I'm trying to stay away from a header too...

They are both the same size so they should be pretty much the same. The tsudo is cheaper

haven't found any video's of hks with tsudo mid. Do you guys think it will create a noticeable sound difference? along with a little performance?

I know I have watched videos with it on the TRD and it seems to make a good difference in sound, but I am not sure about the HKS. It will probably make it alittle bit louder and deeper. You might get alittle bit of performance but nothing you will really feel though

Yea I am looking to pick up the tsudo too, I honestly don't think there will be much difference between the tsudo and megan. The tsudo is like $70 cheaper, check out speed-element.com they have them for 150 plus whatever shipping would be too you. unless you have a better site?

So I finally found a tsudo midpipe for 139 shipped and got it installed with my hks and all I can say is wow, defiantly sounds way more deeper and has a very noticeable rumble sound to the exhaust note, which reminds me of a wrx. I would recommend this set up to anyone who has a hks axle back.
