I personally would opt for the 4" mbrp system. Why? Because I have one.

For real though, on a stock or slightly modded truck the 4" system will suit your needs better. 5" is more for sound/looks and the ability to say "I have a 5" exhaust." On a stock or slightly modded truck it is common for people to feel they loose low end grunt when using a 5" system. Hope this helps!
