Check out 4wheelonline.com. They had a "name your own price" deal that I saw last week and I believe it's still going on. I got my 409 stainless MBRP 4" turbo back exhaust with not cat for $480 shipped. That's a $600 system!

Ha, check out all the Ga. guys. I'm in Griffin, Ga. and was actually looking at the same system from Summit but then had decided on the mbrp system - that is until my truck died. It's an '04 f250, for whatever reason it refused to crank yesterday, so now I'm looking at doing a few other things and the exhaust has fallen way down on the list.

hope you get your truck back going. the exhaust wont sound very good if you dont get it going. lol j/k.
zerotucker has a good piont. i saw that info in another thread the other day and forgot about it.
but i got my mbrp system from xdp. just for the system was around $370. it was the 4" turbo back off road aluminumized kit. (off road being no cat used) and going off my experiance i had with xdp, i wont be shopping with them anymore. my choice but even the wife cut me off from them. i dont mean to spark a argument and know there are lots of people out there that has had no issues with them but i had several issues with just one order.

you are probably 100% correct. i tell you what though is sure the hell was the most aggravating time of my life. my wife even had to get our bank to get on them about the money they owed us.
again i say i dont mean to try and steer anyone away from xdp, i havnt heard of anyone else having problems, but it was just so bad that i wont give them another chance.

i work on the end of fulton industrial that turns into pallmetto cascade pky which is the "good end" i wont go past the quick trip there at campcreek pky without my "pice" with me. i just really dont fit in over that way if you know what i mean.

Diamondeye 5" exhaust
Just finished putting on my Diamondeye 5" exhaust on today sounds awesome, It is galvanized, with a 4" downpipe with 4" right past the transmission crossmember and then goes to 5". Haven't got to drive it yet but it sounds awesome. Hopefully will improve power and mileage. I got it off ebay for $339.OO SHIPPED. Good luck with your search and get ready for the pita when you install the turbo downpipe on 4" systems.

Just a couple of other items to remember, if you are deleting the kitty and the exhaust system you bought is set up to keep it, you need to get about 18" of extra pipe. Second item, in most cases especially with 4" downpipe, it's easier to drop the trany crossmember and lower the engine/trany to get the downpipe in. I have Magnaflow 4" stainless on my early 04 for 6 years now. Luv the whistle

the silverline system i rec. deletes the kitty and you dont have to worry about the extra pipe. also just cut the old downpipe at the bend by the tranny and you will be fine. no need to drop crossmember or anything like that. your more than likely not ever going to put the old downpipe on anyways

genelaw,
glade to see you got your exhaust put in and like it. i know what you mean about have somebody else drive it to see what it sounds like, my wife wont drive my truck cause its as big as a bus. but it does sound good at idle and that little bit of wistle is great. would like a little more but i can deal with it. what color is your truck, just wondered if iv seen it in the area.
we should get together one day. when i get some free time i will pm you or something. warning it may be a little while. but i love my sct and matts tune

My truck is Grey. You would know it when you see it because it has a "Salt-life" sticker on the back window (went to school in Florida) and has a NASCAR license plate (Georgia)....but yea just let me know when you get some free time, shoot me a PM and we shall set it up...quick question, does "Matt's tune" change your exhaust tone at all? Just curious about that...still learning about the different things tuners do and what they affect.
Cheers
