any true 5" exhaust?
hey hows it going guys?well i was about to buy a MBRP 5" exhaust,though then i found out that the elbow is 4"...So it goes from a 4" to a 5" i guess..Well i was wondering if anybody makes a 5" exhaust from the TURBO BACK and a reasonable price..any help would be appreciated

The stock turbo and all aftermarket singles have a 4" outlet. The MBRP has a 5" downpipe that goes into a 4" flange.
A TRUE 5" exhaust will require a turbo with a huge exhaust housing, and it will be nothing you can light by itself.

As mentioned above, get the 04.5 elbow.
The 5" systems for the 04.5 are just 4" right off the elbow and quickly neck up to 5". That is as close as you are going to get.
I have the 04.5 elbow sitting in the garage waiting for an 04.5 exhaust. You need the clamp too!
Even if you use a 4" system its nice to have 4" elbow instead of 3.5"

As mentioned the 5" isnt worth it as far as hp goes. I did mine for the tone and would do it agian, it does sound much better imo.

you don't need 5" for what you are doing. My reg cab has 4" downpipe. You have a lot to do before you need to worry about needing larger than 4" downpipe. Main thing is not to get excited. We need to see what turbo is going on, then get the 4" elbow if needed and get 04.5 exhaust then. If you buy a 5" exhaust for an 03-04 then you will be worse because of the small elbow.
