Explorer exhaust

I am looking to get a new exhaust system on my 93 Explorer. What kind do you guys recommend?

Most people go with a cat-back Flowmaster, Gibson or Magnaflow. I have the magnaflow and like it very much. Still quiet at idle and cruising but lets you know its there when you accelerate. Don't waste your money on replaceing the cats, they are already very free flowing. I had mine tested when the muffler went on and there was less than 1lb difference of airflow. For diameter, you should look at either 2.25" or 2.5". Anything bigger and you begin to lose performance.

I'd go with a factory original exhaust system to avoid the annoying noises present with any aftermarket system - but then I'm biased: I did the development work on the system on your truck!

By buying one through a dealership. On a second note, my magnaflow does not have any annoying noises.

How much does the factory exhaust cost from a dealer and can I put it on myself or does the dealership have to put it on?

Cost of a factory exhaust from a dealer will vary wildly depending on the dealer; if you can't find a reasonable price at a dealer, you could try Walker's "premium" line of replacement exhaust parts.

The factory system will have better materials than any aftermarket system, so it kinda depends on how long you plan on keeping the truck.
