Thanks guys, I haven't thought about the 5". I don't want it to be loud, those days are over for me. But I do like the whistle.

5" in actually too big unless you are going to add bigger sticks. It will actually hurt your low end without enough back pressure. Most will recomend going 4" unless you are planing to go with bigger turbo and sticks. I went with the 5" myself, but only because I plan to add the big upgrades enventually, and I didn't want to have to redue my exhaust.
