Mid pipe has the power increase, cat back is mainly a change in the sound.

You already have Flows welded in, that's good enough for a "catback". You don't need any change in the exhaust tube diameter so weld-in Flows are just fine.

Get the O/R pipe

go with the x pipe than if youre not satisfied you can add the cat back later
(catback =$350 x pipe =$150)

go with the x or h pipe first. Probably one of the cheapest mods (off road at $149) for the results.
