5" Exhaust

Good Friday the 13th to everyone. I have a question about 5" exhaust. I have a fake Tymar intake, edge tuner and a straight pipe. This winter, if everything works out, I will put in stage 1 injectors and new glow plugs. My question is, would it hurt or help me by putting on a 5" exhaust or is a 4" enough. My thought was, bigger the better. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Sean

5" is an overkill. Even with stage 1 injectors you might be around 350hp, a 4" exhaust is good to 450hp.

Sean, If you want to run 5" go for it.I've got 5" on mine and love the sound w/no muffler. Sure it's overkill,but it's a want,not a need!
