exhaust

I have a 96 F250 7.3 and want to know what the most aggressive sounding exhaust system is. Single or dual or stacks.

I have a Diamond Eye system, too, with the OEM cat and the DE muffler. I like the way it sounds. I have no need for stacks; I drive with a camper shell on my truck 99.999999% of the time.

One thing I do not like about Diamond Eye as a company...
I wanted (and ordered) the stainless steel system with the lifetime warranty. What I received was the aluminum system with the one year warranty. I didn't find this out until AFTER the shop installed my system and I started filling out the warranty card the following day. The day my system was installed was my daughter's birthday and I still had to pick up the cake. Long story for another day, but I won't be going back to that shop nor will I buy from DE again.

I will not recommend that shop or DE to anyone, either. My story may be in the minority, but I made multiple attempts with the installer and DE without any corrective actions taken from either business. Next time, MBRP all the way. The DE system was cheaper and, based on my experience, I can see why.

I contacted the installer and DE directly. No help whatsoever from either.

I got my diamond eye system from riff raff diesel. It is the stainless system with 3in down pipe then 4in strait pipe no muffler or cat. The shiping was really quick too.

I went MBRP and didn't have any problems. I was also missing a hanger and they sent me one. I do wish it had band clamps though.
