it depends on what ur doing. on a DD with say 350hp, 4 inch is plenty good enough. from what ive read, a 5 inch will cost u a lil more hp on a dyno if ur less than 500. good luck

5 inch really dosent make any diffrence over 4" , I know tons of guys have posted that heat loss and so on and so on...It's bull. Maybe .5 RWHP . If your worried about power loss with 5" wrap the charger and part of the down pipe!

4 Inch is actully plenty for over 600rwhp. Most go with 5" because of the deeper sound, no performance reasons really.

No not in any way. Maybe slow spool up a bit but not much.
