Default 5" downpipe?

my current build im doing im using a garret 91mm with a 5" dp flange so im wanting to go ahead and do 5" all the way back it looks like i can do it but im gonna have to cut my transmission ear off and its gonna be tight.

i also could use my old 4" dp and have bout 20" of 5" before it gets to the 4" but if i can i wanna keep from doing that

i was gonna see if anyone else has a 5" dp if they can give me some pics to get ideas from and tips would help. thanks

I wouldnt worry about a 5" dp unless you have a 400ci or larger engine. Plenty of 6.0 guys make good power on 3.5" downpipes, so a 4" would more than suffice for most setups.

Exactly what i was gonna say, 5" is for big power no need for it on smalle setup unless you just want it to look cool i suppose
