hi fellas,

im on winter break from school and finally making some progress on getting my 92 back together, i dont have time to custom make my own exhaust and the stock one was pretty well gone. just wondering what everyone thought about the diamond eye 4" for 4x4 250 reg cab long bed? hows it fit sound and hold up? and wheres the best place to buy

thanks in advance!

Justin

 

Its a great system and very affordable, check out treasure valley diesel for the best prices.

 

TV Diesel has it the cheapest at $275 with free shipping. I put one on a ext cab long bed 2wd and loved it! In the next couple of months I will be getting another one for my current truck.

Make sure you have at least a hack saw. 1 piece does need to be shortened. It looks like it was built for use up to crew cab or cab and chassis versions.

yea don't get the muffler though, they don't sound good. just get the straight pipe kit from tvdiesel.com

 

What's the best muffler for quiet with the Diamond Eye 4"?

 

I like Aeromotive mufflers, they still give a nice sound but get rid of drone. The muffler that comes with the diamond eye kit sounds like a de-tuned school bus from outside. The 1st time my Dad heard me pull away in his 92 with the DE muffler, he ripped it off the next night LOL.

Personally I like a 4" Straight pipe coming out behind the rear tire at an angle like the diamond eye kit, Gives a nice rasp sound at a certain RPM. But yet no drone (at least in my truck with a straight pipe)

 

The wife can hear me a block away and I got the muffler with it.

 

Yea im not saying its quiet, it makes a weird exhaust note and drones at low speeds, at least thats what it did in the 92,

 

I just installed one on a 92w250, it fits well and the engine breaths well through it. The exhaust is a bit too loud for My taste, I have to spend several hours on the truck when used and the drone noise gets old fast for Me. For the money I think it is a great product.

 

4" staight pipe is not the quietest thing out there...
I agree the diamond eye muffler has a different sound to it, but I honestly dont mind it at all. It does drone a bit at freeway cruising speeds around 2k rpm. I am wanting to add an FTE resonator to fix that.

 

Has anyone tried a flowmaster muffler with this exhaust

 

Your right it does sound funny at idle.

 

Great kit for the price and TVDiesel is the best place to get it. Mine came the next day when I ordered it late in the afternoon. I got the straight kit and it does drone at about 22-2400 rpms goin down the freeway or also at about 1000-1100 rpms in my truck if its in overdrive. Has a good deep throaty sound to it though that's just about right if you ask me. Overall great product.

 

cool, thanks for all the input! im gonna order it, one more question tho what size it the top of the down pipe? just wondering if it will clamp right to the hx35 or if i gotta modify it

 

Depends what style 35 you have, if you can remove the exhaust elbow the 1st gen downpipe will clamp right on. If you can't remove the elbow you will need a 2nd gen downpipe. Seeing that you said clamp I'm guessing you already took the elbow off
