Default What size single side exit

Hey guys getting ready to switch from my duals to a big single side exit. I have an intake and exhaust now though my 220/220 cam is on the way. I'm leaning towards 4" but i'm not sure if it might be a bit big. Should I go with 3" or 4" for a single exit on the side infront of the rear tires?

I like the look of 4", i'm mostly worried of losing power with a 4". I'm doing it for the look, and becasue I'm losing power with my 1 into 2 system now.

4 inch will be too big. Run a single 3 inch and run a 4 inch tip if you want that look.
