Diamond Eye is installed right now on the truck. It sounds great, very little drone. Less rowdy than the Solo kits but is louder than the Magnaflow systems. Seems like a very good choice for a lot of guys.

I just wanted to add my feedback and experience from dealing with Stage 3 Motorsports on an exhaust system purchase.
I purchased the Borla S-Type Cat-Back for my '12 5.0L after seeing the video of it posted on this thread. I was a bit hesitant about going with the S-Type, as I've got a wife and kids that use the truck as our primary means of transport.
I'd gone back and forth between the Touring and S-Type, wanting something that struck a balance between tolerable/non-invasive at cruising and 'holy s***' when I get on it. The S-type met that criteria perfectly. Nice rumble at start-up, no annoying drone and sounds like a truck should when you mat it. The exhaust itself is a very nicely crafted unit. Longevity/durability of the system was a key component in my decision-making process due to the weather we see up here. The install was pretty simple; just make sure everything is aligned as it should before tightening and you're good to go.
Stage 3 showed great customer service and communication throughout. E-mails, phone calls and inquiries were answered promptly throughout. The exhaust shipped very quickly with tracking info and was here before I had thought of a plausible explanation for my wife. The price I got was outstanding and the system arrived exactly as described.
For those on the fence as I was, make this your next mod. It's brought an enjoyment to the daily driving experience that I haven't had for awhile. No regrets at all and props to Stage 3 for creating this thread to help make my decision an easy one.

Just a FYI to the guys looking to install a new exhaust without a tune. The sound will change after a tune if the tuner incorporates the exhaust. I lost the drone at highway speed with my Magnaflow with 5 Star Tune

Got my Afe Mach Force XP Exhaust from my local 4 Wheel Parts. Should of went with Stage 3. Got my intake from them. Recommend Stage 3 to anyone. Awesome Customer Service. Felt like I was talking to someone normal, not some stooge that needs to sell sell sell. Buying my lift from, when I get the funds of course.
