Default 5 inch exhaust??

I know there are companies that make full 5inch exhaust and full 4inch, but i was looking for a full 5inch turbo back and then into stacks??? But also wondering if its worth getting the 5 or should i just go 4 then to dual 5inch stacks???

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

just cause MBRP makes a 4inch turbo back to dual 5inch stacks. Would that kit be sufficient enough??

Most common set ups are 4" to the y-pipe. From that point it makes the transition to the stacks. Our kits are 4" under the bed, with a 5" y-pipe. The transition is at the bottom of the y-pipe, so when you look in the truck bed you see nothing but 5" plumbing. However if you look under the truck you will see nothing but 4" exhaust.
