Default exhaust tips question

So with my truck as big and lifted as it is, with my new exhaust coming, do you think 5" tips would be too big? Ive for 4" tips now.

I think 4" is the biggest you should go with a gas motor.


EDIT: Unless you have a 4 banger, then the biggest you should EVER go is 2 1/2". Anything bigger just looks stupid.

i think 5" is too big unless you got a diesel, i like a nice tight sleek fit, not some big a$$ coffe cans stickin out the back... but its your truck...

LOL!!! Hey to each his own, but the coffee cans analogy is not too far off. I would have to see it to judge.

i think it depends on how your exhaust is laid out weed... if its coming straight out of the back then no... i have a couple friends with 5" tips and it doesnt look bad.... it just depends on the layout imo... i have a single out with a 4" and i think it looks fine but as stated to each his own
