4" or 5" exhaust?

What is the difference, and performance gains of both?

I currently have a 4" turbo back on the truck right now, but Im not sure what kind. It had it on there from before I got it.

I work for a machine shop and was thinking of asking them to bend up some 5" stainless...

would it be worth the money for the performance gains, if any at all?

Sick with the 4in, you would just be pissing away money to replace it with 5in

Yup, 5" is a waste really. If you need a price on anything let me know.

If your just using exhaust, tuner, and/or intake then it's not going to be worth it to go to a 5in system. In fact, you'll see some low end loss in power unless your pushing more air and fuel.
