Default s pipe or mid pipe?

i'm pretty much limited to buying one or the other at the moment. can i get someone's opinion about it cuz i know that the mid pipe tapers at the end and the s pipe relieves alot more back pressure than the mid pipe does. which mod would be more benificial for me? a couple more questions, if i add the s-pipe will that change the tone of the exhaust cuz i'm just running the TRD axelback. and would it throw a CEL cuz i'm also S/C. thanks.

get the midpipe first, it doesnt make sense to get the s pipe then connect it to a smaller midpipe. and by changing both pipes you wont throw a CEL that would be the case if you remove your primary CAT by changin your stock header

mid pipe will change the sound more make the tone deeper and louder. it will probably give the most gains too because it will get rid of the secondary cat.

neither will throw a CEL

would there still be a noticeable difference if i just changed out the s-pipe and kept the stock mid pipe? does any one have any videos?

either got both, or get the midpipe. i got the midpipe, i like it.
like said before, its dumb to get an S-pipe than not midpipe, itll just constrict the air again... both or midpipe is my vote!

Get a midpipe for now. But an s-pipe will be more beneficial once you have the money. But it makes no sense to open the flow then constrict it again. But just so you know. The TRD axleback does restict flow too. It sucks. Maybe think about gettign a 2.5inch axleback as well in the future.
