Midpipe Or Racepipe

Hey all, Now that i did my reasearch on a catback(MS) love it sounds great, I have been reading about the clusters of race and a mid. I think i want to get a Midpipe and not a Free flow Cat. I dont no too much about the too. But from what i am reading a Midpipe is louder. I havent been able to find any online(yet) So, if you nice ladys and gentlemen out there that have sites and sounds of a midpipe or racepipe with the MS duel canister catback, Please post. Any help is great.

Oh yea, And one more question, Throttle body upgrade, Worth doing?

Thank you all.

midpipe IS louder
www.youtube.com has TONS of videos of mid pipes, race pipes, and high flow cats. (it's how I found my high flow)
keep in mind, the MS exhaust is already louder then exhausts like RB.
Throttle body upgrade = WORTHLESS for daily driver

don't worry about it.

get a catless midpipe, then when you find it too loud, get a turbo and it'll muffle the sound.

I'm loving my hks legamax now. It's quieter than the borla and it's starting to grow on me as the best sounding exhaust (when turbocharged)
