It would have to be after the turbo...

But to answer the OP question. Straight pipe!

^ what he said, straight pipe it, go 4 inch off the turbo 5 off the turbo sounds dumb, no louder than 4 and less back pressure

Oh the other option if funds are tight cut right before and after the muffler and take the back piece that goes behind the tire and put in front of the tire if that makes sense it's ghetto but will be loud some guy with a 6.0 did it in my town

as said above u can un bolt/cut it off before the muffler and then put a tip (probly 50 to 70 bucks) to push the smoke out from the axle and it will be loud...best option is to do a 4" though

Is that K&N an open style filter or drop in?? If its a drop in, I would ditch it...Too much dirt and crap gets by those because the top doesn't seal right on the box. Too many dusted turbo's from those. Get yourself an open style filter like a Napa 6637. With that intake and a straight piped 4" exhaust, You will have an awesome sounding truck!

Mine is totally ghetto, a 5" MBRP system that has started to rust and it broke, so last week I cut the pipe about 12" behind the 4" downpipe to 5" transition and stuck a turndown on aimed to the passengers side, homemade weedburner and LOUD!!! The butt dyno says it has a little more power, probably just scared now that the exhaust roars right under you.

Yes, yes, in the spring once this damn salt is done being spread I will be putting on a new 316SS 4" exhaust.
