5" exhuast or straight pipe stock
Any thoughts on installing a 5" exhuast or running a straight pipe with stock exhaust system.

straight pipe with the cat will still be pretty quiet.

Straight pipe without the cat is the way i went and i am lovin it. Can be heard from longggg distance.

Then straight piping, whether it be 4" or 5", is not the way to go. Both are loud.
