Default STI up-pipe vs After market up-pipe

Hi

Just cant decide on which one, Do I replace my standard wrx catted up-pipe with a decatted standard sti up-pipe with slip joint (secondhand) or an after market stainless steel up-pipe solid style (brand new) ?

I have the option to purchase either for about the same price but cant decide which one ??

Your thoughts are welcome with any advice if you have fitted either one

Cheers

Rich

After reading a lot of similar post as this, I wouldn't even be considering anything other than having a Harvey one wrapped, match to my mods and put in the post

either standard or if you can afford it get a harvey up-pipe don't be tempted into getting some bling bling large bore tat that will kill your turbo spool up.
