The MBRP Universal Black-Coated Hexagonal Exhaust Tip (T5173BLK) 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 specialized high-heat black powder-coated finish, and an aggressive single-wall hexagonal angle-cut design, this exhaust tip delivers distinctive performance-inspired styling without requiring replacement of the complete exhaust system.

Unlike conventional round exhaust tips, the MBRP T5173BLK features a unique six-sided hexagonal outlet that creates a bold, modern appearance. Its angular design provides a distinctive alternative to traditional round, oval, and dual-wall exhaust outlets, making it an excellent choice for enthusiasts seeking a more aggressive rear-end appearance.

Manufactured from corrosion-resistant T304 stainless steel, the T5173BLK combines durable construction with MBRP's specialized black powder-coated finish. The dark exterior provides a stealthy appearance that complements black exterior accents, aftermarket rear diffusers, performance bumpers, and other custom styling modifications.

The exhaust tip features a 2.5-inch inlet diameter, 4-inch outlet diameter, and 10-inch overall length, making it suitable for compatible aftermarket exhaust systems and custom exhaust configurations utilizing 2.5-inch tailpipe connections.

One of the standout features of the T5173BLK is its distinctive stainless steel MBRP logo plate with contrasting backing plate. This premium branding detail adds visual contrast against the black-coated exterior while complementing the exhaust tip's angular hexagonal design.

The single-wall construction provides a clean, performance-oriented profile, while the angle-cut opening adds an aggressive finishing detail. Its extended 10-inch length creates a prominent exhaust outlet appearance and allows positioning flexibility for compatible rear bumper configurations.

Designed as a universal exhaust accessory, the MBRP T5173BLK utilizes a bolt-on attachment configuration that allows installation on compatible exhaust tailpipes without welding. This makes it an attractive option for enthusiasts looking to customize an existing exhaust system without replacing the entire exhaust assembly.

Whether completing a custom Honda or Acura exhaust build, upgrading an existing performance exhaust, or replacing a damaged factory exhaust tip, the MBRP T5173BLK delivers premium materials, distinctive styling, and the quality expected from MBRP performance products.

Fitment Information:

The MBRP T5173BLK 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 inches

• Overall Exhaust Tip Length: 10 inches

• Exhaust Pipe Compatibility: Requires a compatible 2.5-inch tailpipe connection.

• Rear Bumper Clearance: Verify sufficient space for the hexagonal 4-inch outlet.

• Installation Clearance: Confirm adequate distance from heat-sensitive body panels, rear diffusers, and surrounding components.

• Mounting Configuration: Verify that the existing tailpipe is compatible with the exhaust tip's bolt-on attachment arrangement.

• Exhaust Tip Orientation: Confirm that the hexagonal outlet can be positioned correctly within the bumper opening.

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.

The hexagonal outlet shape may require additional clearance compared to a conventional round exhaust tip, particularly on vehicles equipped with narrow or specially shaped bumper openings.

Vehicles equipped with dual or multiple exhaust outlets may require additional exhaust tips, sold separately.

Finish Maintenance Information:

The black powder-coated finish requires regular cleaning to maintain its appearance. Exhaust heat, road grime, soot, and environmental contaminants can accumulate on the surface over time.

MBRP recommends regular cleaning and advises that black-coated exhaust finishes are better suited to environments with limited exposure to road salt and harsh chemical treatments.

Avoid abrasive polishing compounds, aggressive chemicals, and cleaning methods that could scratch or damage the black coating.

Performance Information:

The MBRP T5173BLK 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

1. Verify Exhaust Pipe Diameter: Confirm that the existing exhaust tailpipe is compatible with the 2.5-inch inlet diameter.

2. Measure Available Clearance: Ensure sufficient space for the 4-inch hexagonal outlet and 10-inch overall length.

3. Allow the Exhaust to Cool: Make sure all exhaust components have cooled completely before beginning installation.

4. Safely Position the Vehicle: Park on a level surface and safely raise the vehicle if additional access is necessary.

5. Inspect the Existing Exhaust: Check the tailpipe for damage, excessive corrosion, or other conditions that may interfere with installation.

6. Remove the Existing Exhaust Tip: Remove the original exhaust tip if necessary, following the appropriate procedures for its mounting configuration.

7. Clean the Exhaust Connection: Remove accumulated dirt, rust, or debris from the existing tailpipe.

8. Test-Fit the MBRP Exhaust Tip: Position the new tip over the exhaust connection to verify proper fitment.

9. Check Hexagonal Orientation: Rotate the exhaust tip to achieve the desired angle-cut appearance and correct alignment.

10. Verify Rear Bumper Clearance: Ensure sufficient space between the hexagonal outlet and nearby bumper components.

11. Check Logo Plate Position: Position the exhaust tip so the stainless steel MBRP logo plate is properly oriented.

12. Secure the Exhaust Tip: Attach the tip using its intended bolt-on mounting arrangement and the manufacturer's installation recommendations.

13. Check Exhaust Alignment: Confirm that the exhaust tip is centered and positioned correctly within the rear bumper opening.

14. Inspect Surrounding Components: Verify adequate clearance from plastic trim, rear diffusers, heat shields, and suspension components.

15. Confirm Installation Security: Ensure the exhaust tip is securely attached and cannot rotate or move during operation.

16. Inspect After Initial Operation: Recheck the installation after several exhaust heating and cooling cycles.

17. Maintain the Black Finish: Clean using mild automotive cleaning products and a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishing compounds that may damage the coating.

18. Monitor Road Contamination: Remove road salt, chemicals, and accumulated grime promptly to help preserve the finish.

19. 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.
