I put 4 inch turbo back mrbp on mine with no cat or muffler and it sounds awesome. Not sure what engine you have mines a 6.0 If its stock then 4 inch is fine. but either way delete the muffler.

5" for noise. 4" is more than sufficent. If your going to delete the cat and muffler there is no reason to go to a 4" the stock pipe is plenty. 3.5 stock w/o a muff or a kitty is better on the budget.

go with 4. If you want the noise go 5, but it would be better to get the 4", You will not lose as much low end and the egt difference is minuscule.

Delete the muffler and lose the cat if you can where you are... You will love it! Sounds great! I have 4" and am more than impressed.
