stacks???

ok guys i got a 3in down pipe, in to 4in stright, i got a stack kit that is 4in in to 4in stacks. but liking the 5 in stacks now, my truck is a short bed, with a fule tank in the bed, i cut the tank so it will set over the y and cover the pipe, then stacks come up beside it, what do you think 4 or 5 in turn outs?? is ther a diff in sound or any thing>> or should i just stay with the 4in stacks since i have them?? thanks

i have room for a heat sheild, i was planing on runnin all 4in pipe, so i cut the tank 8in over and 8 up so it was not right on pipe. what you think still put a heat shield on??? 5 doae look sweet! i have side tread plate boxes on the go up 2 tank, stacks should look nice. well you get a diff sound tone from 5 than 4??

it all depends on what you like in your truck, heat is an issue but it honestly doesnt get that hot. i have had TONS of plastic bottles just hang out inbetween the bed and the ypipe and never melt. i personally think 4" looks weird in the bed as well as 5" but if i had to do 5" stacks i would do miter cuts, but thats just my opinion, 5" stacks are alot more...crisp in tehre sound, 6" like mine drone out the bark and its a little more do able on the highway.
