Just your thoughts on 4" vs 5" exhaust. performance wise and sound wise. I have 4" but was wanting 5"

If you have the 4, it probably ain't worth it going to 5. UNLESS you just have to have a different sound. I however would be finding one locally to hear & compare before I'd spend anything, just to see if the change is worth the $$$ & hassle of changing it over. Just my humble opinion. Do you have a muffler in there now? Straight piping might get you what you want if you do...

I straight piped my stock setup (no cat from the factory) and it sounds awesome! The pipe ends right under the bed. I'm gonna weld up a "muffler" for now until i get the cash for a nice stainless setup.

There is no replacement for displacement.
I made some sound recordings of my 5" Cannon a couple of years ago.
