Exhaust options
So i have a stock 06 F350 CC 4X4 6.0 PS.. i am going to purchase an exhaust here soon and was wondering what everyone has and what works/sounds best (4 inch, 5 inch etc...). i am in alabama so there are no emmisions/smog laws. Here is a couple of options i was looking at. i tow a little, off road a little not really looking to drag race it or anyhting and i will probably do a small tune on it.
MBRP Performance Series Aluminized 5" Turbo Back - Single Exhaust S6224PLM (No Muffler)
Magnaflow Exhaust System Turbo-back 4" Pro Performance Series 17954

Also do i have to retune with a new turbo back exhaust?

5" is a waste unless you plan on doing some pretty "big" performance mods. Also, just FYI, it doesn't matter if there is local emissions testing or not, you can still get cited for not having emissions equipment if it came on the truck from the factory. That is a misconception that you can't get cited if there is no testing. Doesn't mean that you will get cited, just that you still can.

Openexcess, thanks for starting this thread.... I'm going to jump in with you and ask a question....
First, I'm not much of a mods guy... I'm looking for longevity. I'm planning on a 4 inch aluminized turbo back exhaust to lower pressures and EGT. I priced an MRBP system and then heard some rumblings that MRBP exhaust systems aren't always the best quality. Any merit or has the local tech my buddies use corrupted them into his products at a higher price?

When choosing an exhaust, be mindful of that. Also al. exhausts can't handle as hot of temps as the SS ones can. Now granted, I don't think you are going to try to hit high EGTs on purpose, but those temps do climb quickly without you realizing it.

If a 4" or larger downpipe causes lag, what is the use of it? Is it only effective when the engine is highly modified?

I have the MBRP 4" turbo back kit. The downpipe that came with it was 3.5", the stock size was smaller than 3.5"

I had removed both the kat and the muffler and have replaced the kat since. I ran it for about 1 1/2 years without and the drone finally got to me while pulling the RV..... Sounded GREAT tho.... I think my fuel mileage suffered as I was always kicking it down to listen to it. Still sounds good with the converter back on, just not as loud and can't hear the turbo whine as much either. But the drone is gone.
BTW, I never replaced the stock system.
