Default does it matter which brand mid pipe i get?

I have a tsudo exhaust on my car right now.. looking to get a trd axleback but would want to put a mid pipe on it. does anybody have any suggestions as to which brand of mid pipe i should get with a trd axleback? or if there's another type of exhaust that i could get catback that will sound nice with the deeper tone than my tsudo has?

You could get a tsudo midpipe and a trd axleback like I have. The trd is kinda pricey for what you get. You could just use your tsudo axleback but it might be louder.

I'm quite happy with my setup.

I really like the way the TRD sounds with a midpipe, its like a whole new exhaust. If you add a midpipe with the Tsudo you should probably add at least one silencer or it will be quite noisy.

The primary cat on the header will obviously still be there, but it does remove the secondary cat on the mid pipe. I have the Tsudo mid-pipe and I like it a lot. People argue that 2.5" might be slightly big for NA, but it may not be a concern for you.

I was going to get the TRD axleback since it is real nice and has the classic OEM look, but I ended up going with the Greddy Spectrum Elite. The SE is real subtle and has a beautiful Ti burnt tip and mating it with the Tsudo mid pipe made the audible levels perfect.
