I just went through this....there is lots of reading if you do a search.
Heres my 2 cents,
I mainly wanted to 5" for looks (at least for now). When it comes down to numbers, you MOST LIKELY dont need a 5". The truth is, a 4" exhaust will easily support 500 or more hp. If you are planning for twins, it might be a good idea, otherwise the 4" is cheaper. I picked mine up for $279 including a 5" polished S.S. tip.

I got it from www.warpspeedperformance.com
Now, I got it for less than regular price. They offer e-bay promotions.
Click on their e-bay link (middle of the main page). Do a search for Cummins....if they dont have any just wait a few days and keep checking back.
Anyway, I thought Id better just give the link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/WSP-D...spagenameZWDVW
6 days left.
PS, notice their 100% positive seller feedback.

Well here is somthing to consider, if you plan on going to twins in the future, a five inch will not hurt, even if you dont, yes a 4 inch is big enough, but if you get the itch (hang around here long enough and you will) to get twins, you already have sufficient exhaust.. Plus a five inch also sounds better. Im in the works for getting one myself.... all thanks to this here board..
And i love it!!Tx

True enough, but when I can justify the investment in twins.... then I'll get a 5"
besides, by the time I get to that point, my 4" will probably be rusted anyway.

I thought I remember a post from aways back where they were talking about a 5" making the truck run rough if you didn't have the HP to support it. Don't remember the details, but maybe worth a search before you spend the money.

The 4" or 5" debate really depends on where you plan to end up with your truck. If you are going to really bomb it past 500 hp and install a set of twins...then 5" is a good choice.
