Exhaust Question

Hello Im looking at running 5inch exhaust and want to know I belive on a buddy of mine we had to leave the stock 3" untill after the cross member. I was going to cut it there and at the 5" after that. Does anyone see any issues with that or know a way to run 5" most of the way? If I do this 3" till after the x-member then 5" the rest of the way it should still be good n lound and sound good too i belive. Anyone have any suggestions please feel free to hollar. Thanks

~Phil

You can run 4" all the way back its just a tight fit around the cross member.

From what I hear (on my own and from others) is that 3" straight is the loudest, mine is pretty loud. Stans headers has a full turbo back 4" kit and several on here have installed it straight up with lower sound than desired, I would think a 3 to 5 system might not be that loud. But then again I am no expert.
