4": jegs exhaust

has anyone used the 4" exhaust that jegs sells (their brand).If so, how did it fit. I would like to order a system, and not sure what brand to get. next, what about 5" on my truck? stock at the moment, but will be adding a few upgrades later.

thanx, jeff

Ditto on the MBRP system. Try without the muffler and if too loud get the muffler of your choice. No muffler is a little louder but also has more whistle.

i agree with nut. i made the mistake of putting on the muffler and was disappointed with the sound. without the muffler you can really hear your turbo and the truck really isnt that loud. much quieter than i thought it would be

I have a 5" with the muffler and it's all turbo sound. It really depends on what you want to hear and how loud you want it. 5" is more for fun. I can't see it being any better for the motor than 4" with a free flow.

From what I've been told, unless you park it in salt water, aluminized with last a good long time. That's from a friend who's a big truck mechanic. There may be differing opinions on it. I live on the coast and will keep an eye on it this summer.

Just to compare...Those of us that have recently gotten 5" ("from Mark") paid about $400 delivered.
