4 inch or 5?
the only mods im doing are the dp tuner, afe stage 2 intake and my exhaust for now and would like to know which exhaust i will benefit more from. i love the look of the 5 inch with the 6 inch tip but will it actually be less beneficial than the 4 inch with the 5 inch tip?

You may lose a small bit on the low end with the 5" but the tuner will more than make up for it. I never even noticed it on mine.

I wanted stainless, so I went with 4" MBRP. I love the sound. The 4" is a bit easier to install from what I understand, but basically it's personal preference.

have you considered Silverline's exhaust system?
MBRP is great and BANKS
I have the Banks 4" from turbo back(5" tip) and Power Elbow
it is expensive, though.

I think what amiller is trying to say that the 5" is the way to go.



I will be getting the 5" very soon, the little bit of power you lose on the low end is made up by the kick *** sound that you will get!

He has some 4" stainless systems also if you live in the land of salted roads. Hard to beat his prices

I never noticed a loss of low end with the 5". It is loud when towing on long trips though. But I love it anyways. Got mine on e-bay.

I'll go along with Alan(who has too much time on his hands LOL) and everyone else and say 5". You can't beat the sound, especially with a straight pipe.
