Construction & Design

The Armor Lite series is constructed from heavy-gauge aluminized steel, chosen for its excellent durability and corrosion resistance in dry climates. This material provides a cost-effective alternative to stainless steel while maintaining strength and longevity. All tubing is mandrel bent to preserve a consistent diameter through bends, maximizing exhaust flow and minimizing turbulence for optimal engine performance.

Seams are fully sealed to prevent rust and leaks, ensuring the system remains airtight and efficient over time. The polished 5-inch diameter exhaust tip exits on the single side, complementing the aggressive sound and clean, factory-inspired appearance of the system.

Performance & Sound

By replacing restrictive factory components with smooth mandrel bends and larger diameter tubing, the MBRP Armor Lite Turbo Back Exhaust enhances exhaust scavenging and reduces backpressure. This improved exhaust flow allows the engine to breathe more efficiently, resulting in increased torque and horsepower. The system delivers a deep, robust exhaust note that is aggressive yet refined, avoiding excessive loudness or droning for a satisfying driving experience.
