I dont have straight pipe. I have 4" with an aero turbine where the cat is and an AFE muff where the stock muff was.
I cheaped out and got a 6' section of steel pipe and I have welded it twice in the last two weeks because it keeps rusting and the tail pipe winds up hitting the body. So I said screw it and went 5".

I ran straight pipe once. once. it was loud as hell and sounded like garbage. not to mention the drone in the cab was unreal.

its on. sounds good. not as loud as I thought, but it isnt full of soot yet.
fitment was good. it would definitely be better with two people. the ring that goes on the turbo pipe was a bit of a b!tch with one person. that took the longest.

you can really hear the turbo through the exhaust! sounds good.
