About Diamond Eye Manufacturing

Diamond Eye Manufacturing has built a reputation as one of the leading producers of high-performance exhaust systems for diesel and gas-powered trucks. Based in Athena, Oregon, the company manufactures its products in-house rather than outsourcing overseas, ensuring quality control and supporting American manufacturing. The company has invested heavily in CNC mandrel bending machines and support equipment to produce premium exhaust components, and operates from a 23-acre facility with over 60,000 square feet dedicated to manufacturing.

What sets Diamond Eye apart is their commitment to precision engineering and material quality. Their mandrel bending capabilities range from 3/8-inch to 5-inch outside diameter tubing in both aluminized and stainless steel, allowing them to create exhaust systems that maximize flow without restrictive crush bends. These unrestricted bends help add horsepower and torque, increase fuel economy, and lower EGTs in diesel vehicles—critical benefits for truck owners who demand performance and reliability.

Diamond Eye Exhaust Systems and Components

Diamond Eye specializes in comprehensive exhaust solutions for Ford, Dodge, and Chevy diesel trucks, with applications spanning from 1989 to current model years. Their product lineup includes everything needed to upgrade or replace factory exhaust systems. The brand's exhaust system kits are available in cat-back, turbo-back, and DPF-back configurations, offered in both 4-inch and 5-inch diameters to accommodate different power levels and performance goals.

For enthusiasts looking to customize their setup, Diamond Eye offers individual components including exhaust mufflers designed to enhance sound and flow, exhaust tail pipes available in polished stainless steel or matte black finishes, and turbocharger down pipes that reduce backpressure at the turbo outlet. Additional exhaust pipes and mandrel bends allow for custom fabrication work tailored to specific vehicle modifications.

Material Options and Construction Quality

Diamond Eye exhaust kits are constructed from either 16-gauge aluminized steel or high-quality T-409 stainless steel. Aluminized steel offers excellent durability and value, featuring a corrosion-resistant coating that extends service life in harsh environments. T-409 stainless steel provides superior longevity and appearance, though it differs from the mirror-polished T-304 stainless commonly seen in exhaust tips and accessories. Both material options deliver the performance gains diesel truck owners expect: reduced exhaust gas temperatures, improved throttle response, and a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note.

Why Choose Diamond Eye Manufacturing

Diamond Eye's focus on the diesel truck market has made them a trusted name among enthusiasts and fleet operators alike. Most exhaust kits can be installed in about an hour with ordinary hand tools, making them accessible to DIY installers. The company's experienced engineering team continuously develops new applications and refines existing designs to maintain compatibility with evolving emissions equipment and aftermarket performance modifications. Whether you're building a high-horsepower competition truck or simply looking to replace worn-out factory components with quality upgrades, Diamond Eye Manufacturing delivers American-made exhaust solutions built to withstand the rigors of diesel truck operation.
