Exhaust System

I am looking to order a 4" Downpipe, and debating on 4" or 5" the
rest of the way. Any suggestions on size or brand? and also How
hard is the installation? Thanks for all help

I like my Flo pro. It's good for the money. Most people will say 5'' over 4'', but I haven't heard both in person to hear the difference...as far as performance of both, most people say there is no gains from one to the other.

A good quality stainless system is Magnaflow for the money.

If you want a more aggressive, deep tone, then go with 5".

I also suggest Flo-Pro. We have both sizes as well as the 4" down pipes on our site.

Both Flo-Pro and AFE make good kits. I ran a 4" AFE downpipe back exhaust for about a year on my truck and loved it. It had a really deep and throaty sound to it. I am now running a custom 5" exhaust setup.

if you get the down pipe, on the install you will either have tocute the stock down pipe way high to get it out or drop the trans back, i actually dropped the trans back ever so slightly to get it out as a whole! the 5" tone sounds really good, i dont have any of the " hair dryer" complaints that others have an i do have a muffler. The two above are top brands and just from experience mbrp and magnaflow make a good product, i dont know if they have dpf delete tho.

I think im gunna get flo-pro and the 5". And i want to take the other out as a whole. If i bought the 4" down pipe and 5" from there, does it include the Deletes? "Clutch" What muffler do you have and is it possible to make a video and post it so i can get a idea of the sound with the muffler? thanks
