Exhaust question...

Would 5 inch exhaust be overkill? Does anyone have one, is there any benefits over 4 inch? One more thing has anyone ordered from rpmoutlet.com? Thanks J/C

5" has deeper sound and may lower egt's slightly but???? But I mean slightly! $ inch is normaly plenty big for most moding. I think I would avoid rpmoutlet, I heard good and bad about them but more bad than good.....I recommend Dale I @Tymar performance's exhaust. Proably the best kit out there for the OBS powerstroke.

You picked the wrong place to ask about overkill. Around here too much is just enough

I think ltfox summed it up pretty well.

I have ordered a few times from RPM outlet and have never had a problem, they have always did exactly what they said they would and product has always been in good shape.

RPM Outlet sucks! I orded a downpipe from them, and a cat delete pipe. They didn't bother to tell me that the delete pipe was backordeded. I called them 2 or 3 times and everytime I called they said it was on it's way. It never showed. And it was a pain in the butt to get my money back. Avoid them. Call dale at Tymar, you'll be glad you did.
