theres really no performance difference because even a 5" system will have a 4" downpipe. It mostly just comes down yo your preference, and the cool factor.

Can't beat the sound of 5". Not sayin 4" sounds like crap but its amazing what an inch will do

I've messed around with my exhaust, from running no muffler all the way to running it straight out the up-pipes. I think the longer and bigger the exhaust can be the deeper and more badass they sound.

Is the 5 in ungodley loud taking it easy on the peddle, or is it queit taking it easy?

I hear the 4in is quiet taking it easy and has alittle bark when you peg it. What do you guys think?

Mine's well within reason just fartin around town. However I'm not outside or behind it while I'm driving. Getting on it and you know your loud, regardless

I did forget to mention mine is straight-piped. You can get a flow through muffler with both 4 and 5 inch. Exhaust is a guessing game sometimes.
