neither, unless you have supporting mods buying a up pipe with that size diameter would be a backward step as the first thing you will notice is the lack low down turbo spool.

I fitted a slip jointed up pipe std bore, if not going for mega power stick with std size, or even just get a std sti uppipe, can't see the point in a ported up pipe unless you get the headers done as well.
