Default 5" tips or keep the old ones??

So i have a 5.4 with no mufflers and 2 pipes coming straight out the back but my friend made me consider changing it to 2 5" tips coming out at a angle under the bumper. Which would look best you think and would there be a sound difference?
thanks

here what it looks like now

don't think you can get 5" decent length tips out the corners. My 4" 18" long tips barely fit at an angle with the spare tire, if you remove that and run pip through there it will probably work tho. 5" put the back would work fine for sure, but why that big?

I've got 5" tips coming out at angles on mine and it looks really good. Made the sound a littler better too. Should fit fine, no problems. The spare tire does sit in the way but someone with a tube bender shouldn't have a problem if they know what they're doing
