untill you reach about the 500hp level the 5 inch exhaust will actually hurt power output, not a lot but enought to notice on a dyno, if your goals are to reach that power then go for the 5 inch because i always hate buying parts twice ya know

with a ve pump correct? unless youve got twin turbos, 5" exhaust is just a way to spend more money.
