Flo Pro vs Diamond Eye

08BIGRIG · Jun 14, 2012

I also run a Flo pro down pipe and have no issues what so ever.

I run a flo-pro as well it fits great. I also got it ceramic coated.

Im starting to wonder if there was issues in the past on the FloPro downpipes that has since been corrected.

I'll have to get an exhaust pic of my flopro duals. Exits are level, and evenly raked back. I keep mine washed with aluminum brightener, keeps it looking great. Their packaging blows, I've owned 2 fp systems, and they both came with mangled ends...once that was hammered out, they fit great. I used diamond eye on my cummins, duals...i never get them to line up nice, and the downpipe was a whore to get right.

I just swapped from the Diamond Eye 5inch to the Flow pro 5inch today.

I hated the fit and the look of the Diamond eye it was way too close to the tire since the hangers didnt seem to be very thought out location wise.

The Flow pro has such a nicer fit than the diamond eye did and i prefer the look better too.

The ends were mangled up on both sets but i just thought that all of these "exhausts in a box" came like that.

Doesnt.mbrp exit.similarly to the flopro? They both are raked and in between the wheelwell and bumper? Mine.now is ok but.it.exits at a 90 to the body. Kinda 80's chevy lookin. Im a 7.3.guy but since.the pickup beds are.the.same stiiiill the look of the tailpipe is.common across all sd years. Can I get a flopro for my truck?

Yea MBRP exits the same. Ive had my 5inch MBRP since i got the truck and i like it alot. I put stacks on it and now im back to the tailpipe exit. I cut the pipe back a little to sink the tip further back i like the look alot of an MBRP. I no this is a flo pro vs diamond eye but if anybody wants a pic of a MBRP to compare i can get a pic when i get my truck back.

Im in the.market but.im not sure if.I want duals or a single 5" exit. Anybody ran both? I realize.this is.a.6.4 thread but im ok with any experience. I like how Shone Patels mbrp duals look. Nice way to terminate the system. Then again something about a 6 or 7" tip on a 5" exhaust that is nice looking.

In my previous post I referred to a bad experience with a DE exhaust. I purchased duals from DE, put them on, and they looked terrible. Both sides hung low, and they were a bear getting around the axle. I went to a MBRP single and liked it. Keep in mind this was on an OBS, so I can't comment how DE fits on a 6.4, but since you asked I figured I would post up.

I personally wouldnt put DE on a go-cart. I would use mbrp or flopro though. Silverline is.some.dandy lookin bs too. Tons of.billiez running.around.here with their 5"DE tailpipe six.inches.off.the.ground and about three from the.tire. :doh:

Ill buy.something good and if.it.still isnt.perfect Ive got.a.torch, grinders, and welders. Thanks for.the.heads up!

haha if my diamond eye was three inches from the tire I would have kept it try an inch or less. i had to take the back piece off to go get new tires thats when i ordered the Flopro. The new tires were the same size as the old ones but there was quite a bit of wear of the old tires so i was afraid the new ones wouldnt fit with that horrible exhaust.

How much did you pay for it? I was currently looking at a DE 5" turbo back for 379.99 until I started reading this thread. lol I am a dealer that has access to ordering Flo Pro but I pay 420.00 for the FP. I was wondering if it was a PITA to install. Looks like most guys are saying no.

Yeah I picked it up for the same price you can get it for and the fitment was great. It was probably the easiest exhaust I have ever done. the stock downpipe was the only thing that gave me a little trouble but i just played with it for little after cutting it and it came right out. The FP downpipe fit right up in there without no issues, all the hangers line up and and it is a very nice system. and i personally like the exit angle alot better than DE. i would recommend FP to anyone.

WILD_PHIL · Jun 24, 2012

And just to confirm, this is a 4inch down pipe to 5" exhaust right? I have seen a few kits that lead you on to believe they are 5" turbo backs, but they I know they arent.
