Looking 5in exhaust

Whats the best deal you guys have found lately? I'm looking at getting a 5in system and want at least stainless but doesn't have to be the very high end ones. Turbo back single, mbrp, silverline, magnaflow, any of the good mayjor brands. thanks

Couple years ago I bought 5" turbo back from shop diesel and was 299 shipped to my door. When got the kit was an Expandit kit. Good fit no issues. I bought the no fuffler kit, but I think the kit with the muffler is like $20 or $30 more.

I have a bullydog 5" on mine, it'll drone some at higher rpms, or towing. If you put a tip on it, don't get one with the rolled end....it'll be worse. I noticed a difference when I took my rolled tip off. It's nice, deeper tone. I like the sound. I ended up putting on a donaldson 51" muffler cause I tow so much and the drone was real annoying, now it's awesome...I also bought an exhaust dump from racereadyperformance.com...so I can dump it under the truck before the muffler and loud when I want it, or closed and through the muffler if I want...all with a touch of a button in the cab.

My 4" systems had alot more drone and was louder then when I went to my 5" straight-pipe. But I know have made my exhaust exit before my rear wheels and has made it louder, but don't care and haven't had a ticket or someone complain. Most people look the other way becasue they know it is a diesel and I don't get on it in rural areas or areas where I would get in trouble.

Yeah, my dump is before my cab ends right under it, throwing it on the ground, it echos real bad...super loud and deep lol..I love it...with the new injectors I noticed a dif tone when it idles, sounds like I've got major subs inside the truck..I can't hear it in the truck, but when you're outside..your heart rattles lol. With a flip of a switch, I can make it about stock quiet.
