is it a big difference in just sound, or can you actually feel the extra power or see the fuel savings at the pump? I thought about strait piping mine but for 289 or so you can get a new 4" turbo back system with all new piping.

The 4" will sound good! If you could got with 5" that would sound better... Seems like you will still be under $400

No difference in power with exhaust.
Sounds will differ from 3"-5" with the 3" having a more defined crack to it and the bigger you go the more of a bellow it has instead of a crack when you hit it hard.

5" will hurt your low end power and raise your torque numbers when it gets cold outside as the exhaust cools to quickly inside the pipe and instead of flowing feeely your hainvg to push it out.
