Considering the mid pipe and muffler section are different from the oem exhaust in terms of fitment, I think it will be very tough to find a midpipe for the s-tune by itself. At best you will probably have to purchase both the midpipe and muffler

Yeah makes total sense.
Sorry if this is a stupid question (not too experienced in this area). Anyone have any experience with a fabricated mid pipe with stock resonator? Will I still retain the sound of the s tune or is it not even worth it?

So, a fabricated system consisting of a large diameter free flow Y-pipe, a large diameter mid-pipe with a resonator (like a Vibrant), all flowing into the exit muffler would be your best bet.
Or, check with vendors who sell the Fujitsubo Legalis-R exhaust to see if "replacement" mid-pipes are available. It's an almost exact replica of the Weldina-source Nismo S-Tune.

Any power gains from the S-Tune are from the Y-pipe and mid-pipe. FWIW, the rear muffler was "acoustically designed" to mimic the tone of the stock system at about half an octave lower. (And the stock system was tuned to mimic the original S30).

Fwiw my stune muffler with 3 inch mid and vibrant res sounded nothing like the S tune. I finally found a full s tune system and sold my custom setup and there was a big difference in sound.

Initially, i only had the S-Tune rear muffler, bought for $225 from a CL seller. I fabricted a short SS adapter to mate the muffler with the OEM HR mid-pipe:
Maybe a year or so later, a local Dugan wrecked his Z and I was able to snag the S-Tune Mid- and Y-pipes, so I bolted them on my car ASAP. Honestly, the difference in sound and performance, were pretty tough to hear or feel. Just my $0.02.
