Powering RPI5 8gb from 5v supply

Hi all.
I have a multi power supply for my arcade machine im making which is 24v, 12v and 5v 6A - Im currently using a power supply for the rpi but want to wire the usbc to this power source. I am worried about the quality of the power and wondering if there is such a pcb that is a power conditioner with usb or usbc socket so i can put in my 5v and it "cleans it up" to the usb port.
Thanks in advance.
 
The Pi has an onboard voltage regulator as the MCU runs at 3.3V or less.

Just some basic filtering with a couple of big caps (100uF or more) and a very low value resistor (0.05 Ohm) or a 5A inductor should be fine, if anything at all.

I've not used a 5 yet, but Pi's have the 5V connections on the header pins as well, you can wire direct instead of via the USB socket.
