You will be fine my friend. The turbo it self creates all the back pressure you need.

5" will give you a deeper tone compared to a 4", as far as a performance difference you won't be able to tell from 4-5"

The only reason people go with 5" is for the beautiful noises that it makes. You wont get any power gains over a 4" aftermarket system from the same brand.

My buddy had a 5" on his 06' and it sounded like a friggen jet. He said that the shop did have to hammer a dent into his firewall so the 5" down pipe would fit. I wasnt there so I couldnt tell ya why they had to do it. And my exhaust is still mostly stock. Just missing the cat and the yahoo before me put 6' of flex pipe in its place so I have a saggy exhaust system I would go out and buy a 5" turbo back system by my wife would definitly know I did it. All my modds so far havent made it taller or louder so she doesnt know about em
