exhaust mods

so i want to get a turbo back system. i'm looking at a few, mbrp seems to be a big one, just wondering what everyone likes. also a few set ups come with a four inch downpipe i know you have to modify the firewall to install any new down pipe but would four just be a pain? also would a 5 inch system be to much for a stock truck? or should i get 5 just to be good and open for future mods? thanks for any input??

If you are planning to run a fairly stock engine the 3 inch pipe will do just fine. A 4 inch downpipe would not be worth the work unless your running some serious ponies.

I don't believe there is a real gain from going to 4 to 5 inch. The sound is deeper, but thats about it.

The 5 inch looks great as well. I have 4 inch and I like it, but bigger is better when it comes to exhaust on our trucks.
