Well 1st off, you won't have either if you are boosted because neither is made to connect to a turbo manifold.

IMHO...Invidia, mainly because I have it.

Well I hope you added a resonator to get rid of that horrible, horrible rasp.

Adding either Invidia or Megan will help with air flow, now whether it will matter in what goes to the wheels is debatable but getting rid of the stock one is a plus. If you are trying to keep it N/A add some NST pulleys with your setup as well. I don't know if you're going for performance or just a nice sound. Invidia will help with that sound as long as you have a resonator welded onto the exhaust. If you ever choose to run a nitrous setup the headers, downpipe and exhaust will definitely help it out.

But if you are expecting miracles by adding a downpipe you are going to be disappointed.

Both spipes are gonna function the same really.......shaped the same,same size,think the air bung is even in the same place,mainly you get a manufacturer or two to choose from.

both pipes are better than the small stock one though.

I said nether because I dynoed my car after every bolt on- cai, header, muffler, s pipe, and then the mid pipe. Didn't gain anything with the s pipe or exhaust, just noise.
