Default downpipe or uppipe?

Just a quick question to anyone who knows...

What is the difference between an uppipe and a downpipe?
Which one should i look into for a quick horsepower gain on my car?

most turbo cars have downpipes only, but if you have a wrx go with the up-pipe first

wrx - uppipe goes from ex mani to turbo, dp exits the turbo.

if you have to choose between the two, go with the uppipe. cheaper and more gains. **** a cat before the turbo.
