We carry Diamond Eye, We even installed it once...once. Since you are having it installed you'll be in good shape, but if you ask Larry.....we wont be installing it again. We can instal an MBRP system in about an hour and a half. Taking out the old and installing the new system. We did the Diamond Eye and it took lots of cutting and welding and about 4 hours. It is cheaper, and its made out of quality material just like the others, but paying for the extra time to install it makes MBRP more appealing. I hope everything goes good for you.

I cant remember right now who it was, but someone from this forum bought the MotoBlue system (very similar), and had lots of problems with it. To top it off RPM outlet wouldnt take it back! Brian was his name, not sure of his handle.

I remember reading that. I was trying to be positive with the 'fit ok' statement. The FBD Budget kit usually goes on as fast if not faster than an MBRP and fits just as well.

That Expandit aluminized kit I got from you Gus was excellent. The guy who helped install it is an MBRP vendor and he told me after installing mine, he won't be installing any more MBRP's. I can't personally compare the two since I've never installed the MBRP but he sure seemed impressed with it. Its worth looking in to.

Well, its all done, and I'm happy as heck about it. It was a local shop and I was greatful for the care he put into installing it. He let me hang around for the whole process. He managed to use all of the factory hangers and welded everything in place great. He threw in a pretty sweet 5" tip. After all was said and done it came out to just under $600. His concept on the factory hangers was "Ford put a lot of money figuring out the best spots for them, why mess with something that works." He actully only used one of the hangers that came with the kit. I'll post some pics in my garage in a few days. Thanks to everyone who replied and appologies to my broken promise to go with a few select vendors. Hey, but I do have just 2 more things on my list to go. ie programmer/gauges. Thanks again.
