6.9 turbo exhaust

Any suggestions on which exhaust system would be best for my truck. 6.9 with ATS turbo and ZF5 tranny. 86 F360 4x4

best would be 3 inch straight pipes out back with no muffler.
second best would be 3 inch pipes with a very low restriction high flow muffler.

I bought a diamond eye dual 4" stainless. Was delivered for under $500. The single and aluminized versions are cheaper. The one for the 94-97 powerstroke is the one i got, dont see any reason why it wont work with your body style, might have to add a mount or two. If you get the cat-back with off-road pipe, should tie right into your downpipe with an adapter and away you go.

if i remember correctly it cost me less than $200 and around 4 hours to build my exhaust for the pipes, elbows, and clamps.

3" straight pipe exit before the tire. 8' stick of pipe, mandel 90* bend, a few clamps and hangers... About $100 and a couple hours to do it. Local shops wanted $500-$700 for the same quick simple exhaust.

Over the axle will be a bit more work and may be worth an off the shelf kit. I did not go that route as I have a 38 gal rear tank, which was the reason I cut my old exhaust short of the axle. A little tight back there but there's room to make it fit if you wanted, just wouldn't necessarily be an off the shelf prebent part.

I put a diamond eye dual 4" exhaust over the axle with a 38 gallon rear tank on that was for a 94-97. I think it was like $340 shipped. I ended installing a 4" aero turbine xl muffler on later to quiet it down some.

What's the opinion on stacks? Thinking that is what I want on a similar setup. One stack on the passenger side, something off a big rig, commercial style look.

When i do exhaust i try the local junkyard. Easiest place to fine a 3"-4" exhaust pieces to save time and money.
I mainly go for the axle over. Sometimes theres already a tip attached. Just a tought to save a quick buck.

My rigs got a 4" axle over off a cummins
