Product Details
The MBRP Universal Polished T304 Stainless Steel Exhaust Tip (T5161) is a premium exhaust finishing accessory designed to enhance the appearance of vehicles equipped with compatible 2.5-inch exhaust piping. Featuring durable T304 stainless steel construction, a mirror-polished finish, and an aggressive dual-wall angle-cut design, this exhaust tip delivers a clean, performance-inspired appearance without requiring replacement of the complete exhaust system.
Manufactured from high-quality T304 stainless steel, the MBRP T5161 combines excellent corrosion resistance with premium performance exhaust styling. Its mirror-polished exterior creates a bright, reflective finish that complements aftermarket exhaust systems, performance bumpers, rear diffusers, and custom exterior modifications.
The exhaust tip features a 2.5-inch inlet diameter, 4.5-inch outlet diameter, and 11-inch overall length, making it an excellent finishing option for compatible aftermarket exhaust systems and custom exhaust configurations utilizing 2.5-inch tailpipe connections.
One of the standout features of the T5161 is its dual-wall construction. Unlike traditional single-wall exhaust tips, this design incorporates two layers of stainless steel that meet at the outlet to create the appearance of a thick, substantial exhaust opening. This provides a premium visual profile while helping reduce heat transfer toward surrounding body panels.
The 4.5-inch outlet creates a bold rear-end appearance compared to many factory exhaust tips, while the angle-cut opening adds an aggressive motorsport-inspired finishing detail. The extended 11-inch length also provides flexibility when positioning the exhaust outlet within compatible rear bumper configurations.
The mirror-polished stainless steel finish offers a timeless alternative to black-coated, burnt-finish, and carbon fiber exhaust tips. Its clean appearance makes it suitable for a wide variety of performance vehicles, from subtle street builds to heavily modified custom exhaust applications.
Designed as a universal exhaust accessory, the MBRP T5161 can be incorporated into compatible exhaust systems when the tailpipe dimensions, mounting arrangement, and available clearance permit. Depending on the existing exhaust configuration, installation may require additional mounting components or professional exhaust fabrication.
Whether completing a custom Honda or Acura exhaust build, upgrading an existing performance exhaust, or replacing a worn factory exhaust tip, the MBRP T5161 delivers premium materials, aggressive styling, and the quality expected from MBRP performance products.

Fitment Information
The MBRP T5161 is a universal exhaust tip rather than a vehicle-specific replacement component. Compatibility depends on the dimensions and configuration of the existing exhaust system.
For proper fitment, verify the following measurements:
Exhaust Tip Inlet Diameter: 2.5 inches.
Exhaust Tip Outlet Diameter: 4.5 inches.
Overall Exhaust Tip Length: 11 inches.
Exhaust Pipe Compatibility: Requires a compatible 2.5-inch tailpipe connection.
Rear Bumper Clearance: Verify sufficient space for the larger 4.5-inch outlet.
Installation Clearance: Confirm adequate distance from heat-sensitive body panels, rear diffusers, and surrounding components.
Mounting Configuration: Verify the manufacturer's intended attachment method and any required mounting hardware.
Exhaust Tip Positioning: Confirm that the 11-inch length allows the outlet to sit correctly relative to the rear bumper.
Important Fitment Information
This exhaust tip does not provide guaranteed direct fitment for any specific Honda, Acura, or other vehicle application.
Always verify the existing exhaust pipe outside diameter, available mounting clearance, and attachment configuration before ordering.
Vehicles equipped with dual or multiple exhaust outlets may require additional exhaust tips, sold separately.
Dual-Wall Construction Information
The MBRP T5161 features a dual-wall design consisting of two layers of T304 stainless steel brought together at the outlet.
This construction creates the appearance of a thicker exhaust tip opening while helping reduce heat transfer toward surrounding body panels.
Although the dual-wall design provides additional thermal separation compared to a conventional single-wall tip, proper clearance from plastic bumpers, rear diffusers, and other heat-sensitive components is still required.
Material and Finish Information
T304 stainless steel provides excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation under normal automotive exhaust operating conditions.
The mirror-polished finish offers a premium appearance and can be maintained using appropriate stainless steel cleaning and polishing products.
Regular cleaning helps remove accumulated exhaust soot, road grime, and environmental contaminants that may affect the finish over time.
Performance Information
The MBRP T5161 is primarily an appearance upgrade designed to enhance exhaust outlet styling.
Installing an exhaust tip alone should not be expected to produce measurable horsepower or torque gains or significantly alter exhaust sound.

Installation Notes
Verify Exhaust Pipe Diameter: Confirm that the existing exhaust tailpipe is compatible with the 2.5-inch inlet diameter.
Measure Available Clearance: Ensure sufficient space for the 4.5-inch outlet and 11-inch overall length.
Allow the Exhaust to Cool: Make sure all exhaust components have cooled completely before beginning installation.
Safely Position the Vehicle: Park on a level surface and safely raise the vehicle if additional access is necessary.
Inspect the Existing Exhaust: Check the tailpipe for damage, excessive corrosion, or other conditions that may interfere with installation.
Remove the Existing Exhaust Tip: Remove the original exhaust tip if necessary, following the appropriate procedures for its mounting configuration.
Clean the Exhaust Connection: Remove accumulated dirt, rust, or debris from the existing tailpipe.
Test-Fit the MBRP Exhaust Tip: Position the new tip over the exhaust connection to verify proper fitment.
Check Tip Orientation: Rotate the exhaust tip to achieve the desired angle-cut appearance.
Verify Rear Bumper Clearance: Ensure sufficient space between the exhaust tip and nearby bumper components.
Confirm the Attachment Method: Identify the manufacturer's intended mounting arrangement before securing the exhaust tip.
Secure the Exhaust Tip: Install using the appropriate attachment method and the manufacturer's recommendations.
Check Exhaust Alignment: Confirm that the exhaust tip is centered and positioned correctly within the rear bumper opening.
Inspect Surrounding Components: Verify adequate clearance from plastic trim, rear diffusers, heat shields, and suspension components.
Confirm Installation Security: Ensure the exhaust tip is securely attached and cannot rotate or move during operation.
Inspect After Initial Operation: Recheck the installation after several exhaust heating and cooling cycles.
Maintain the Stainless Steel Finish: Clean using mild automotive cleaning products and a soft microfiber cloth. Use stainless steel polish when appropriate to maintain the mirror finish.
Professional Installation Recommended: Custom exhaust applications may require professional assistance to ensure proper alignment and secure attachment.
Important: Do not assume that a universal exhaust tip will directly attach to every 2.5-inch exhaust system. Verify the correct attachment method and any required mounting hardware before installation.
Maintain adequate clearance between the exhaust tip and surrounding bodywork to help prevent heat-related damage.
