5" exhaust for obs

I found a 5" exh system for our old body style trucks. It is a 3" to 5" down pipe and 5" the rest of the way.

My question is, does anybody else have a 5" on a OBS truck? and if so how well does it fit, any problems? and how did the installation go???

Mike,I've got 5" on mine, but I fabbed it up myself. Gotta say I like the looks & the sound. I think 4" is prob big enough for performance though.But hey,too much is just enough,right?

I bought my 5" from RPM outlet.. Not the best quality but I do like it. I think it's more of a wow factor but at least there's no confussion that you mean business when you pull up to someone.

Thanks. RPM is where I found it, they claim a few more HP than the 4". And Im thinking like Brian, if 4" if good, then 5" must be better!!! RIGHT

just my two cents, but i bought my 4" from RPM outlet and the service was terrible. took forever to get the exhaust and then the pieces of the exhaust did not match up sizewise, had to fab a lot.

Yeah same thing here.. When I bought it they sent a 97 Dodge kit. It's an ok kit.. I didn't use their downpipe as I already had my own.. Instead I gave it to my brother in law in which I had to cut 2" off the top downpipe to make it fit. All in all I give it a 6 out of 10. The price is right but the customer service and the quality of the kit were just average. This kit isn't made to delete the cat so I had cut part of the cat (to use the coupler) to make it all work. No directions in the kit but I think I spent an 1 hr putting on the exhaust (remember downpipe was already installed) I'd give Mark or Mr. Dale @ Tymar (509-922-TRUK ) a call ask him about his 4" stainless.. That's what I wish I had now.
