Default 5" EXHAUST

will 5 inch exhaust hurt the performance of a stock truck? i am getting ready to ditch the stock exhaust. i like the sound of the 5inch but i dont want to lose power. my truck is stock with nothing done to it. my plan is too do exhaust, turn up timing, bigger fuel plate then put a valve body and torque converter in the truck for now. i want to get a good exhaust but i dont want to lose power.

I have an 03 but exhaust was the first thing i did (5" straight pipe) and other than not being able to keep my foot off the pedal it didnt really affect much performance wise.

What brand and system are you going to get? I got one from ebay that came with a free 6" tip. Diamond eye, aluminized. Theres one with free shipping and one with $45 shipping. If you go that route, pay the extra $45 and get the free tip, haha.

I lied, $289 but if you use the discount code you get a better price.
