If you’re hell bent on a 5" exhaust, do a 3" downpipe and expand it to 5" after whatever needs to be cleared is cleared. That’s what I did on the DSM. 3" downpipe until the oil pan, where I took it to 3.5" ---

why the fuck would you do 5 inch? that is super over kill and defeating the purprose, it wont have any pressure. 3" maybe 3.5 is the biggest you should go. period! bigger is pointless ---
