I've got an 04 that is all stock, i'm finally getting ready to start upgrading and have been researching exhausts, I'm lean towards the MBRP turbo back 4 inch, but i'm wondering if there is really any difference between the different brands other than price. Any one have any ideas??
4" pipe is 4" pipe no matter the brand. I had the 4" MBRP stuff on my '04 it's top notch and worth the cost of T409. I liked the ability of the MBRP stuff to run delete pipes as I wanted so I can swap in the cat IF I ever move to an state that requires diesel testing.
Just put a Magnaflow 4" SS TB on my truck this weekend - what a difference! Got a great deal on it and it came with the cat delete pipe plus adapters to swap the cat in if needed at some point.
do yourself a favor and compare Mbrp with Magnaflow. I did and found Magnaflow to be the winner because Magnaflow is 100% Stainless and includes the cat pipe and 4" cat adapters, somethings that MBRP doesn't include.
I think the main reason why I went with Magnaflow was the design of the muffler so do your homework and see if you can tell what I'm talking about.
I spoke with John at "Hottexhaust" who had it at my door the very next day.

MBRP does make an off road exhaust that comes with a cat delete. really the only difference between the different brands is the sound. personally i think that it's all personal preference. i have the 4" MBRP turbo back with the cat delete and i absolutely love the sound!

I installed the MBRP installer series 4" TB no cat exhaust last week.$423 from 4 wheel parts. Installed it myself in about 2 hours, everything fit perfectly. The sound is incredible on start up and acceleration. While idling, it produces a jet engine kind of whistle (loud) sound pretty cool and the truck does seem more responsive. 04 f250 Lariat 160K
This top picture is the MBRP design.
If you get one of these, The louvers accept the flow as it is a directional design which also disrupts the flow and bounces around (a characteristic you don't want in a muffler) This picture is from the "tail pipe" view. Noticeably a smaller diameter muffler.
The bottom picture of the Magnaflow shows "perf" Stainless pipe. The only difference between the below picture and the 6 liter Magnaflow muffler is the shape (tubular and not an oval.) The Magnaflow will be a much larger diameter than the MBRP design.
Exhaust notes will be significantly different between the two, the MPRB will have more of a brassy sound. The Magnaflow sounds more mellow even twards a stock sound, that is untill you romp the throttle.
