Arrow 4" or 5" Turbo Back Exhaust

I have an all stock 01 Cummins. I'd like to start slowly upgrading and I was wondering which exhaust would be better? I probably won't go to extreme with the truck, just a few upgrades here and there. Any suggestions?

I put a 4" farm boys diesel exhaust on mine with a bhaf and i noticed a difference. I think 4 is waht most people use unless you are going to be towing really heavy.

I have a 4" silverline 409SS. I like it, but I would rather it be louder. I have a friend with a 5" and it sounds great... kinda wish I had gone that route, but I wanted a stainless steel system.

According to Diesel Power Mag if you put a 4" exhaust on your truck it reduces 97% of your back pressure. So you are not going to see that much of a difference with a 5". Now the sound difference is significant.
