stock mid pipe or 3" x-pipe?

This winter im planning on doing LT's, no cats, and a big cam. Already have a cai and axle back. Is it worth it to ditch the stock mid pipe for a 3" X? Any significant power gains or sound?
thanks

Im sure you will pick up some gains, especially if its gettin cammed. The sound will def be better IMO. Do it for sure. A cammed Maro is so much fun, after I cammed mine I cant stop driving it.

It will sound better and you will have less drone. Performance wise I don't think you'd see much gain. The stock exhaust is already pretty free flowing
