f550 stainless exhaust

I need a stainless steel exhaust for a 2000 f550. The truck spreads salt all winter so it needs to be stainless.
Any idea if any company makes such a thing

Thx in advance

I went through this trying to find ANY exhaust bigger than stock that would exit behind the rear tire.
Basically, with my work box on the back of the truck and the clearance issues between it and the fuel tank the only pipe that would fit is the factory 3.5 inch and it was tight.
What I ended up doing was exiting in front of the rear tire.
Not exactly what I wanted to end up doing because it is noisier in the cab of the truck that way, but I really didn't want the factory size exhaust either.
What I would recommend is getting whatever SS system you want and modding it so that it exits in front of the rear tire.
Or just go back to Ford and get thier system, it's semi stainless anyway.

Dan im glad u saw this since ur the resident 550 expert.
Id mod one if it was my truck but its a work truck and the only reason to go bigger was because aftermarket is cheaper.
Was the fuel tank or ur flatbed the culprit on the clearance issues? I as because our truck is a single cab dump built on the crew cab chassis. I believe the dump box is 12 feet long

It was a combination of the rear axle (HUGE), the fuel tank, and various frame stuff on the bottom of the bed that interfered. Mostly the rear axle and fuel tank, however.
Just not enough room to get the 5" pipe through there.

Ok went back and forth with clay and my father all day. I think we are just gonna kick it out in front of the rear wheels. So the standard 4" mbrp kit should work?

Dan, come on now, you can do it if you want to. I put a 5" on my 550 with a reg dually bed. you saw it. its tight but it can be done. just razzin ya! hope all is well in Seattle.
To the OP the only issue I had was the extended length of the 550 to a 350. i purchased an extra section of pipe and it fit fine.

Barney your bed must have more clearance than mine does.
NO WAY is a 5 inch pipe going to fit between the bed, the tank and the axle on my truck.
I spent several hours trying to make it work.
