Exclamation exhaust or downpipes?!?!?!

So Im having a dilemma here. After getting the ESS tune, im craving more power!!! Now I cant decide whether I should get an exhaust or some downpipes. And yes before everyone says GET BOTH lol, i am planning on that but just not at the same time. Im lookin at either some AR downpipes or a meisterschaft gts stainless exhaust.

Any opinions or suggestions guys?

Thanks!!!!!

If you're "craving more power" (as you stated), downpipe is way to go for power gain.
Exhaust will give you minor weight saving and cool sound but the power gain is very minimal.

If you're "craving more mods", exhaust is way to go since you will have great, unique exhaust note.

But an active hybrid owner from tree hugging Canadia putting environmentally harmful downpipe seems a lil odds in my opinion.

If you plan on doing both, I would do the exhaust first, that way when you do add the downpipes, everything "downstream" of the downpipes will be free of restriction.
