5 inch exhaust

OK i did a thorough search to see if i could find anything on the subject. I am looking at getting a 5 in turbo back kit. Im wanting to go cat and muffler delete as well.. The questions i have are: does a 5 in kit come with a smaller downpipe or is it a 5 in downpipe also. What kind of problems will i have on install with a 5 in downpipe? firewall clearances and such? and what kit is going to be most suitable. I was looking at aluminized pipe and the 304 or 409 piping. I live in vegas so rain/snow/ice/salt is no problem at all. I occasionally drive into utah to snowboard but thats only maybe 3 times a year. Im just wondering about discoloration of the piping over time. im not lokoing to get a tip or anything i just want the straight piping such as this kit or something from fbd thanks for your help

Your 5" system will come with a 4" turbo back down pipe. Then open up into a 5" exhaust pipe. Several members have painted the exhaust system prior to install with great results!
I got my system from MKO.

yeh i like the look of the aluminized pipe so i wont be painting it. i just wasnt sure about the downpipe size as i had found some threads on 4 in piping and clearances but nothing on 5.
