Exhaust System
Guys, 2 months ago, I ordered what I thought was a good deal on a 5" Stainless Steel Moto Blue exhaust system from RPM Outlet. The downpipe goes to 5" in less than a foot of the turbo flange it looks like from the pictures. Even since I ordered its gone up $100. I've really tried to be patient 
because it seems like a great system for what cost me $500. Problem is, it has not shipped from RPM to me yet...it's coming from China and I am really having problems getting a straight answer. 
I know a staright answer can be found because I am in the import dept where I work.
I am thinking now of just ordering the 4" Aluminum mufferless pipes from Rip Rook and putting a AeroTurbine 4040. Even with 5" Moto, I am probably going to add the Aeroturbine 5050 if I wait for the Moto Blue system.
Some have said the 5" was not neccesary but since the price was great I ordered it. Would a 4" system actually be better than a 5" system
or is it just that 5 inch system is overkill ????

5" systems are nothing more than bling for the average hopped up truck. Unless you are a racer or puller and are making 650+HP, you don't need 5" exhaust.
It's purely bling, can't beat laying in the throttle with a full 5" system, especially if it echos off a building.

Abbynormal,
Somewhat typical of what we hear at DPPI everyday on some vendors. ALWAYS be cautious as to who you buy from, Sponsors of this site have a vested interest in making sure you get what you ordered when you order it etc.
A well designed 4 inch system will support up top 500RWHP, so for 99.9% of folks it'll do all they need. If you want 5 inch go for it, just understand it'll be louder and potentially have soem drone. Check out the MBRP 4 inch systems, they have 100% welded hangers like the stock system and fit really easy, even have a one piece tail pipe too! If you're looking for low price but quality look at the AFE systems. Best dollar value out there!
