^ o no he didn't lol.....

What ever the diameter you current exhaust would look good, I was never a big fan of those big exhaust tips on trucks, specially on an OBS truck, I say a 5" no bigger would look good, please for the love of your truck don't put those 7"+ exhaust tips on a 3.5-4" exhaust they look stupid.
Just my "WORTHLESS" .02

I have a 5" on a 4" exhaust and I think it even looks kinda dumb but it filled the space in under the bed a little better so that's why I went with it.

Rename the thread " how to compensate" lol.

Tip is equal to diameter of the pipe. No need to look like you drive a cumapart...little pipe with big mushroom head. Lolololol

​​​​​​​Ok, sorry to disappoint y'all, but the reason I'm redoing the exhaust is cause I'm puttin a "cumapart" in it. I 100% agree, I hate the huge bell on a little pipe. But I'm doin a 5" all the way from the down pipe back, so that's why I'm lookin at a 6 or 7" tip.

Use the same size as the exhaust or one size bigger. 7" tips don't look good on the OBS trucks. 5" is about the biggest that looks good. I will post a pic of mine once I get home
