I think a straight pipe is usually VERY cheap. The 5" tip is pretty much irrelevant to anything but looks though. There are cheaper options out there. Just my opinion though.

well I have a stock system on it now except for cat delete, do you think a strait pipe on that would be better than the larger exhaust? I appreciate you offering your opinion that is why I asked for help. Thanks G

Well, that depends on what kind of power levels you're working with. What do you have done to the truck? Do you have a specific goal in mind? Daily driver/Sled puller/Drag racing?
I wouldn't say a straight pipe is "better". But depending on what you're doing with the truck, maybe the money could be better spent.
It's easier for us to help you if you fill out your signature in your user CP. Make, model, modifications, etc.

You'd probably be fine with a straight pipe stock size.
