Diamond Eye exhaust CAT or Turbo back ?

2006 5.9 mega cab

Full Turbo back 409 ss $369 shipped or Aluminized $269 shipped.

CAT back about $80. less?

How long would Aluminized last in Michigan? and is 409ss much better?

Any suggestions and if anyone has this system what your opinion of quality instalation and SOUND they have some muffler upgrade options also but quite pricy

daaang where did you find $269 for aluminzed ?

I went with the full turbo back 5" aluminzed, So far there isnt a speck of rust on my exhaust, it has seen one minnesota winter so far.Getting the down pipe on is the hardest part, it is real tight btween the frame and transmission but it does fit. I did not get a muffler with mine and yes it is loud but i guess im used to it and everybody seems to like it haha

What are you hoping to gain with a whole new system?
All it'll do is give you more noise, unless you're over 600 hp there's nothing wrong with the stock 4" system, just change to a free flowing muffler, my 40" Nelson was a whole $67.

Is the nelson muffler aluminized or SS ?

Is the OEM muffler the single most restrictive component of the OEM exhaust?

Aluminized.

Yes, the offset muffler is the biggest restriction. My CAT is still in, we need them for inspection up here but removing that would be good too.
