4" downpipe, 5" straight no muffler. Gotta let the beast breathe!

But then youre gonna need to get it air...BHAF , maybe an aftermarket intake horn, bigger turbo later down the road

I agree I have the 4" MBRP turbo back and it sounds really good. Really wouldnt want to run 3" though. So to answer your question 4" but 5" is always an option too.

you'll like the 4 inch, less back pressure on the turbo the better

Im gonna go with 4" as well If you want noise run a straight pipe, if you want flow but less noise just run a straight through muffler!
