Default rwd is250 midpipes

so i know theres like 2-3 brands of midpipes out there but i was wondering, can i just get a custom? like magnaflow or something.

i dont even know what people are talking bout when they says. high flow.cat,converter or whatever that is.

i just want pipes like the the new invidia or similar but pay less. i had midpipes before on my benz but it passed smog check ( if that helps) cost me 100$.

first time modding =(

I think if you get anything custom, it's gonna cost you more than a Megan or Invidia midpipe. Invidia's will probably be the best bang for your buck.

in my opinion, removing the secondary cats on the stock mid-pipe gives you the sound/hp increase that any other aftermarket mid-pipe gives you

example:

edit: I also think the modified stock mid-pipe sounds a little more aggressive than the megan mid-pipe (in a good way)
