I think any fo the Stainless steel MPs will last long enough to out live your car. Fitment on all of thme should be about the same since its jsut a pipe no really odd bends or any thing like that.

I am using an RX6 single turbo with an SR mid pipe and exhaust. My car isn't real loud but that is my opinion. When I cruse, I set off car alarms left and right as far as ½ block way. The exhaust gives off a low harmonic tone that can not be heard by a human ear. I will be changing my system to 3 ½" in the future. I have other priorities that I have to complete on my car first.
I would suggest going to a competent muffler shop and have them make you one instead. ( Use a large muffler with stainless packing.) Your car will be nice and quiet. Do a search for more info.

Most of them fit well. Its hard to screwup a midpipe.

you already have a wastegate. IF you have boost creep problems, then you'll have to pull ur turbos off and port your wastegate.
