How to Choose the Right MBRP Tip

Here’s a quick guide to help you match your tip to your build:

Always match the tip diameter to your exhaust pipe for a clean, proper fit.

How to Install MBRP Exhaust Tips (The Right Way)

Installing an exhaust tip is a relatively simple task, but proper fitment ensures it looks good and stays put.

🔧 Tools You’ll Need:

• Socket wrench or Allen key (depending on tip design)
• Torque wrench (optional)
• Anti-seize compound (optional for stainless tips)
• Measuring tape

✅ Installation Steps:

1. Measure Your Pipe: Confirm that the tip’s inlet size matches your exhaust pipe diameter (e.g. 3" pipe = 3" inlet tip).
2. Slide On the Tip: Most MBRP tips use a clamp-on design. Slide the tip onto the pipe, leaving 1–2 inches clearance from the vehicle’s body or bumper.
3. Align the Tip: Position the tip straight or at your desired angle. For dual exit setups, ensure both tips are even.
4. Tighten Securely: Using the clamp bolt, tighten the tip evenly. Avoid over-tightening to prevent distortion.
5. Double Check Fitment: Ensure the tip clears any body panels, suspension components, or rear bumpers.
6. Clean Your Tip: To prevent finger prints from etching into the tip material on your first engine start-up, be sure to clean off any prints or oils using a premium polish such as MBRP’s Tip Polish Compound. 

Pro Tips:

• For a permanent install, tack weld the tip after aligning it.
• Periodically re-check clamp tightness, especially after off-road use.
• If using a coated tip, avoid abrasive cleaners that may dull the finish.
