I don't believe this would cause a problem but I really doubt any exhaust shop would do this for you. If you did, just use the same size pipes. I would just wait till you can get another midpipe and save yourself the time and money of fooling with the stock one.

i dont know why i shop wouldnt do it and i already know a shop that will. and i dont want to spend $95 on a mid pipe then $500 for dual cat back. i dont have $600 just for parts then the cost of instalation i just dont have that much money. when they cutouts coast like $45-$60 and install will be around $50-$75.
