MBRP Exhaust

[J.H.2015LT]

Does any one have any experience with MBRP exhaust systems? I am looking at replacing the stock system and was comparing this brand to Borla and Corsa. Any information both positive and negative would be appreciated. Thanks!

I do. I've had mine for almost 2 years now. Sounds great, no issues and a good price. Easy to install. What concerns do you have?

It may just be advertising but it is using a 400 series stainless steel which from what i understand is a lower quality. I am concerned it may rust out sooner than the 300 series stainless steel other manufacturers use. Also, how does it sound when the engine goes down to 4 cylinder mode, any drone?

Do you hear any drone when cruising?

Only when the truck swicthes into 4 cylinder mode and going slow around 30-40 the exhaust was designed for both v8 and for when it is in 4 cylinder mode its only noticeable at lower speeds in 4 cylinder mode

I have had 4 different MBRP systems and after my Silverado enough was enough.  It rusts bad if you drive where they salt the roads... in less than a year I had corrosion and pitting I would expect from a 5 year old exhaust system and I live where we actually don't salt all that heavily or often because it's usually too cold for it to be effective.  The black powder coating also fell off almost immediately on 3 different tips I had and one full system.  Hell water running down the inner panels of the box and running across the tip took off the "powdercoat".  Rustoleum paint honestly held up better than their powder coating did and I could wire wheel the powdercoat off like I was cheap paint.  I will never buy anything from MBRP ever again.  If I want cheap junk I will buy aluminumized pipe from an exhaust shop.

That is what I am concerned about. With the cost of the system being half of Borla and Corsa I have a feeling it will be one of those "you get what you pay for" moments.

Mines aluminized, but I live in Florida [emoji16] The drone wasn't bad at all when I had AFM, but I turned that off. I mean if you want to spend 800-1100 on an exhaust then I personally love the way Corsa Sport sounds. Why bother with an exhaust if you don't want the hear the V8 roar? Lol..

Yup.  I took the MBRP off my last Silverado and replaced if with a Borla ATAK... what I wanted and should have bought in the first place.  I might have pictures of my old MBRP to show you how terrible it was in around 9 months time.

Sounds like I am in the same situation. I want the Borla ATAK but at $1,300.00 it's a little pricy for now. I would be interested in seeing what your old MBRP looked like when you removed it.

So that was taken in May of 2016.  I installed that exhaust in October of 2015 lol.  No my truck didn't look like the Titanic underneath and still looked great.  The factory exhaust would have held up better than this did and the head pipe of course did.  I sent these photos and proof of purchase to MBRP to see what their response was.   MBRP said that this level of pitting and corrosion was totally normal for their T409 systems in that time frame.  Funny... I have had a Magnaflow T409 stainless exhaust on my 05 1500HD for 4 or 5 years now and it still looks nicer than this MBRP did after 8 months on my truck.  You can see where i scrubbed the hell out of it with metal polish and a scothbrite and all the pitting it had.  No thanks.  My 2017 has stock piping (it's an HD so its 3.5") and a muffler swap..  the oem exhaust still looks more or less new after 3 years now lol.  Great product MBRP lol.  You get what you pay for.

This is why I bought the Borla.

You get what you pay for is so true.

I purchased the black powder coated model. Its in my garage still in the box....so i should not open the box and install it then? I bought it online but its been sitting in my garage for 45 days no time to install it. and company only gave me a 30 day window to return it. So anyone wanna buy a new still in the box system? lol.  ill use it as a downpayment for the Borla.
