Hard to beat an MBRP 4 inch turbo back.

Riffraff Diesel: MBRP 4" Turbo Back T409

If you live in an area where rust is not an issue you could get aluminized and save some money

I just put the MBRP 6200AL on my 01 F350, I really really like the new exhaust. The truck is quiet at idle, and doesn't wake the neighbors up at 5am anymore haha.

Took me and my neighbor an hour and a half to install. I was really impressed by the exhaust. For 375 bucks I don't know if you can go wrong!

I have a 5" straight and don't like it. It's too loud on long trips.

I had a banks exhaust 4" turbo back, but it's straight piped now. So I guess I have banks tubing(over priced)and their chrome tip. Have to roll down the window to really hear it. I miss spring,summer,and fall.

I also bought Magnaflow stainless 4". I got it for $300 shipped to my door. Not bad and I couldn't be happier.
