the stock piece being larger lets DC put in a slightly less restrictive intake silencer [vs one fitting 4" elbows]... going with just a 5.5" piece of tubing saves you from buying 2 new rubber elbows... if you want to splurge and get 2 new elbows, then a short [>12"] piece of 4" pipe/tube would be needed

Here is the MPC Pipe from Geno's





it was $50.00 but worth it to me. it is a perfect fit and it is VERY heavy gauge steel. the turbo sings loud now.

Thanks for explaining "why" go with a 5.5" inner tube. BTW, got the tubing yesterday morning spent all of maybe an hour with never dull and my drimmel tool buffing it to a lusterous shine. Looks great, and saved me some coins in the process.
