Even if the mid pipes are also "high flow" they are no where as high flowing as a catless midpipe, N55, Maddad etc. Plus they contribute to drone syndrom very much, since just a mid pipe change cured most if not all of the drone issues among many users. So, I would say mid pipe should definitely be the first mechanical part (together with charge pipe they say, but I will take my chances on that one till my warranty expires or the thing just fails) to go in the case of a stock 1M, high flow or identical to regular N54 mids do not change this fact.
