Can't go wrong -- there is nothing like the sound of an opened up exhaust on these things. I have their stainless 4" exhaust on mine, and love how it sounds. It went on in less than 2 hours -- I have read about some install issues with the 5". There is a sound difference, but no real performance difference between the two, unless you build up a monster 7.3 (500+ HP). I thought about going 5", but I have no regrets at all going the way I did.

Mine sounds like this: CLICKY

Went with the MBRP 4 inch duals, same performance as the single but can hear that roar out back from both sides. You won't be disapointed. Beautiful sound.

got the 5inch MBRP and had a few issues with the tools i was using to remove the old exhaust, crappy sawzall...but once the old rusted one came off the 5 inch went on like a breeze. I love the sound...people can hear me coming from a mile away...and when i use to idle outside my old job, everyone in the kitchen thought it was a delivery truck coming...haha

I love it and would not replace it...unless i get stacks...but thats in a long while

If they salt the roads where you live, you might want to get the SS exhaust and I don't think the 5" come in SS.

I used high temp stove/grill paint...painted the whole thing from the turbo back...Ron of Ron's Power Stroke said he has the MKO 5" with the stove paint and the road salt hasn't corroded his yet...it's all personal preference...its a risk with the aluminized, but its 5" and that's hard to turn up lol
