Diamond Eye Performance
Diamond Eye Performance manufactures mandrel-bent exhaust systems and components for diesel trucks, with a catalog that spans DPF-back, turbo-back, and cat-back exhaust for Cummins, Duramax, and Power Stroke platforms. CNC mandrel bending maintains full internal tube diameter through bends from 3/8-inch to 5-inch OD in both aluminized and stainless steel, ensuring exhaust gas flow is not restricted by collapsed bends common in lesser exhaust systems.Popular UpgradesDiamond Eye 4-inch DPF-back exhaust systems for the Cummins 6.7L and Duramax 6.6L diesel trucks are the most popular products, providing a meaningful reduction in exhaust restriction over the factory 3.5-inch outlet section. Stainless steel mandrel-bent kits are available for the Ram 2500, Ram 3500, Ford Super Duty, and GM HD truck platforms with direct-fit connections and tip options. Aluminized exhaust kits offer the same mandrel-bent quality at a lower price point for builds in drier climates where corrosion is less of...

Turbo Back Exhaust Systems for Your Vehicle
A turbo back exhaust replaces every exhaust component from the turbocharger outlet to the tailpipe tip, including the downpipe, mid-pipe, catalytic converter or test pipe, and cat-back section. This full-system replacement delivers the most significant exhaust flow improvement available and produces the largest power and sound gains of any exhaust upgrade. Popular Turbo Back Exhaust Components A complete turbo back exhaust system typically includes a high-flow downpipe with a 200 or 300 cell metallic catalytic converter or a test pipe for track-only use, a flex section to absorb drivetrain movement, a mid-pipe section, and a cat-back section with resonator and muffler. Popular brands offering complete turbo back systems include Invidia, Agency Power, Borla, Corsa, and Milltek Sport, with options for stock-replacement catalysts or high-flow alternatives depending on emissions requirements.
