The MBRP Universal Carbon Fiber Exhaust Tip (T5180CF) is a premium exhaust finishing accessory designed to enhance the appearance of compatible performance exhaust systems. Featuring genuine carbon fiber outer construction, a mirror-polished T304 stainless steel inner sleeve, and an aggressive dual-wall angle-cut design, this exhaust tip delivers distinctive motorsport-inspired styling for custom and aftermarket exhaust applications.

Unlike conventional all-metal exhaust tips, the MBRP T5180CF combines two premium materials to create a unique appearance. The carbon fiber exterior features a distinctive woven pattern, while the polished stainless steel interior provides an attractive metallic contrast and durable exhaust-facing construction.

The T5180CF features a 3-inch inlet diameter, 4.5-inch outlet diameter, and 6.13-inch overall length, making it an excellent finishing option for compatible exhaust systems utilizing 3-inch tailpipe connections.

One of the standout features of the T5180CF is its dual-wall construction. The carbon fiber outer sleeve surrounds a polished T304 stainless steel inner sleeve, creating a substantial exhaust outlet profile that complements performance-oriented exterior modifications.

The 4.5-inch outlet provides a bold rear-end appearance compared to many factory exhaust tips, while the angle-cut opening adds an aggressive finishing detail. This design works particularly well with aftermarket rear diffusers, carbon fiber aerodynamic components, and custom performance exhaust systems.

With an overall length of 6.13 inches, the T5180CF offers a relatively compact profile that can accommodate a variety of compatible rear bumper configurations. Its universal design allows it to be incorporated into custom exhaust applications where the tailpipe dimensions, mounting arrangement, and available clearance permit installation.

The MBRP T5180CF is designed for bolt-on installation on compatible exhaust tailpipes. This no-weld attachment configuration makes it an attractive option for enthusiasts seeking to customize their exhaust appearance without replacing the complete exhaust system.

Whether completing a custom Honda or Acura exhaust build, upgrading an aftermarket performance exhaust, or replacing an existing exhaust tip, the MBRP T5180CF combines premium materials, aggressive styling, and MBRP manufacturing quality.

Fitment Information

The MBRP T5180CF 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: 3 inches.

• Exhaust Tip Outlet Diameter: 4.5 inches.

• Overall Exhaust Tip Length: 6.13 inches.

• Exhaust Pipe Compatibility: Requires a compatible 3-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 compatibility with the exhaust tip's intended bolt-on attachment arrangement.

• Exhaust Tip Positioning: Confirm that the 6.13-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.

Carbon Fiber and Dual-Wall Construction Information

The MBRP T5180CF features a premium dual-wall design combining a carbon fiber outer sleeve with a mirror-polished T304 stainless steel inner sleeve.

The carbon fiber exterior provides a distinctive motorsport-inspired appearance, while the stainless steel inner sleeve offers a durable surface for exposure to exhaust gases.

This construction creates a visually substantial exhaust outlet and complements vehicles equipped with carbon fiber exterior components.

Although the dual-wall construction separates the carbon fiber exterior from the inner exhaust passage, proper clearance from plastic bumpers, rear diffusers, and other heat-sensitive components remains essential.

Carbon Fiber Finish Information

Carbon fiber exhaust tips require appropriate care to maintain their appearance.

Regular cleaning using mild automotive cleaning products and a soft microfiber cloth is recommended to remove accumulated road grime, exhaust soot, and environmental contaminants.

Avoid abrasive polishing compounds, harsh chemicals, and aggressive cleaning methods that could damage the carbon fiber finish.

Because exhaust components experience repeated heating and cooling cycles, inspect the carbon fiber sleeve periodically for signs of damage or deterioration.

Performance Information

The MBRP T5180CF 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 3-inch inlet diameter.

2. Measure Available Clearance: Ensure sufficient space for the 4.5-inch outlet and 6.13-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 Tip Orientation: Rotate the exhaust tip to achieve the desired angle-cut appearance.

10. Verify Rear Bumper Clearance: Ensure sufficient space between the carbon fiber sleeve and nearby bumper components.

11. Confirm the Attachment Method: Identify the exhaust tip's intended bolt-on mounting arrangement before securing it.

12. Secure the Exhaust Tip: Install using the appropriate attachment method 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 Carbon Fiber Finish: Clean using mild automotive cleaning products and a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishing compounds that may damage the carbon fiber exterior.

18. Monitor Material Condition: Inspect the carbon fiber sleeve periodically for accumulated soot, road grime, or signs of heat-related deterioration.

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 3-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.
