It's for stock it looks like. I have an aftermarket 4" exhaust and muffler and can't find the right size delete since my muffler is longer than stock. I'm gonna end up going to my local muff shop and have them cut me a piece of 4". $10 a foot.
I here a guy around my town with a delete 7.3, sounds awesome. Getting mine soon. I vote delete!

I put a delete pipe on my old F250 similar to what Clay is selling and my X has a full 4" MBRP. Honestly, the volume isn't that different, to me anyway. The sound, is though. It sounds more tuned and throaty, less raspy.

I had my muffler removed and had a piece of 3 1/2 pipe (stock pipe size) welded back in. Didnt really change the sound much except more turbo sound through the exhaust. dropped EGT's at 65MPH by 200 degrees. only cost $75.00 dollars.

I just installed my 4" turbo back MBRP last weekend. Muffler delete and a tip, and you'll be a happy camper!

Well I guess you can tell by the pic I decided on the 4" Diamond Eye with no muffler.

What are your opinions of the Diamond Eye system? Did you put a tip on it?

I have not installed my diamond eye exhaust yet. I just recieved it yesterday. I do have a tip ordered for it. I ordered a 4" in and 5" out 12" long stainless tip. I will try to post pics and my thoughts and opinions after I do the install.
