Hey guys, I was going to put a 4" to 6" black mbrp black stack in this weekend. I was wondering can I get away with putting a 4 1/4" hole in my bed or do I have to put a 4 1/2" inch hole in it? I am trying to stay away from the exhaust banging against the bed :eek:.

So for your 5" what size did you drill your hole?

When I did my 4-6", I did a 4-1/4" hole and it was tight. I did however have the 4" od side in the hole.

drill a 4 1/4 first and see if its too tight. you can always make it bigger.

Just use rubber edge gaurd around the whole and it wont make any noise if it ever hits the bed.

I ended up using a 4" hole saw worked perfect.
