Default Mid-pipe or TB

Alright, I have about $400 and I wanted to know which you think i should get. A Mac 75mm throttle body for $150 or a mid pipe for around $400. I know everyone would normally say mid pipe, but I do not have a catback, just welded in magnaflow mufflers. Would i not see much gain because of that with the mid-pipe? Thanks

??? You'll be 2800-3000 tops on the highway with 4.10's or something if you don't insist on driving 120 the whole way. Won't hurt it.

You can open up your intake, but whats the purpose? You have the stock bottlenecked exhaust. Gotta be able to get that exhaust out quicker before you'll see any worthwhile gains through intake mods.
