4" versus 5" exhaust - MBRP

I think we are going with the MBRP Exhaust on our 2004 F250 -- now we have to decide between the 4" or 5" turbo back with cat. Pro's and con's please. . .

Thanks for your comments!

The 4" has options for aluminized, 409 Stainless, or 304 Stainless. The 5" MBRP is Aluminized.

Stainless is a good choice if you plan on keeping the truck for a few years or are in an area or travel to an area with salty roads in the winter.

As far as power and sound, they are identical.

Does the difference in size affect the turbo any? We are out west (Las Vegas) so no salty roads for us.

If you are building a sled puller then wait on the exhaust. 5" is kinda big for a stock motor with no real benifit over the 4" stuff. Exhaust mods help EGTs primarly with little gains in HP/TQ.

What do you have planned for future mods?

Yea, I went with 4" duals. Up here in Canada the stainless is a must cause they salt roads like a mother. Plus as said before, there is no benefit from 5" due to 3.5" dp on both systems. The 304 stainless stuff has a lifetime warranty whereas the alumidized I believe is like 3 years

4" is all you really need, 5" is overkill, but it does look and sound cool. Most of our customers go with the 4" stainless because it comes with a lifetime warranty. If you plan on keeping the truck a while, this is a good way to go. The 5" kit does not effect the turbo much due to it still having a 3.5" down-pipe.

So, both 4 and 5 use a 3.5" down pipe?
