MBRP exhaust systems: the best for your money
Find durable and affordable diesel exhaust systems from top names like MBRP and Hypermax at DieselSite.com. At first, you may not be sure which system to invest in for your truck. Consider the material you would like to use; choose among aluminized steel and varying grades of stainless steel. You should also decide if a warranty is important to you. If cosmetics and technical factors are something you're interested in, start from there. If you want to stay under 500 hp, a 4" exhaust system is an excellent all-purpose choice. If you get in the 500-600 hp range, you'll find noticeable improvement with a 5". Finally, the climate you're in may help you narrow down your choices. We recommend the MBRP 304 to anyone who lives in northern states or drives in a lot of snow. It's made of stainless steel and will resist damage from salt accumulation. Generally speaking, MBRP exhaust systems are a fast install as they conveniently come with everything to make a complete installation. Welded hangers help make installation fairly simple.
Modifying diesel exhaust systems
Lots of drivers like to play with their diesel exhaust systems for sound and smoke. Some drivers who want their truck to make a deep, throaty sound recommend the MBRP exhaust without a catalytic converter. But, be warned that this modification may void the warranty. If you want to keep the warranty, the MBRP muffler will drop EGT (exhaust gas temperature) and increase the turbo air flow, even when the stock cat is in. Cats made recently are far superior in flow than those manufactured just a few years ago. Some truck owners suggest a dual exhaust system for a low growl. While they offer little in terms of performance, the duals have a compelling appearance and they put out a big cloud, if you like to make a lot of smoke.
