Aftermarket Exhaust?

Just trying to get some opinions on a good aftermarket exhaust that isn't too expensive. Have an MBRP on my other 97 f350 and recently bought a second truck. Not sure if I want to stick to MBRP or a different brand. Any suggestions??
Thanks!

Ive heard members having fitting problems with the MBRP exhaust system, don't take my word, but personally the diamond eye cat back exhaust is the best bang for the buck, good quality and everything fits perfect

I went with mbrp as it was the cheapest I could find in 4" stainless with a 3" dp. I got mine at summit.

My 5" diamond eye took 30 minutes to install.. I was very pleased with the fit especially considering how huge the pipe is.

The MBRP I have on my old one was very difficult to get on... 4in from the turbo back with a 5in tip

Do you like the way it sounds?? I have a 4in dp on my other truck but 3in will probably be much easier to install

3 down is easier to fit in but not all cabs are the same, some are tighter in the down pipe area

4 down usually needs something cut, hammered, bent to get it to fit in

Diamond Eye 4" SS exhaust here, can't complain on the fit, finish, etc. For the money it's hard to beat!
