Product Description
Quieter tone, no choke. The MBRP M2220A Quiet Tone universal muffler uses a high-flow 5" spiral louvered core and heavy-duty aluminized construction to cut drone under load while keeping your diesel flowing strong. It’s a direct replacement for MBRP 5" performance mufflers and fits most 5" systems (31" overall length).
- 5" inlet / 5" outlet (center-center)
- Approx. 31" overall length (universal fit)
- High-flow spiral louvered core with heavy packing for reduced drone and noticeable dB drop compared to standard performance mufflers
- Aluminized steel – durable, budget-friendly
Fitment
Universal fit for most 5-inch diesel exhaust systems with sufficient straight length for a 31" overall muffler. Common on late-model heavy-duty diesel pickups using 5" turbo-back or cat-back systems. Verify inlet/outlet orientation and available space before ordering.
Cross-Reference / Alternatives (MBRP-only)
- MBRP M2220S – Stainless steel version of this Quiet Tone (same 5" in/out, 31" OAL).
- MBRP M2050S – 5" high-flow muffler, T409 stainless, 31" OAL (non–Quiet Tone).
- MBRP MDA531 – 5" muffler bypass (delete) pipe, 31" overall.
Installation Notes
- Weld-in or clamp-in; use quality 5" band clamps for best seal.
- Ensure adequate clearance to driveshaft, brake lines, and heat-sensitive components.
FAQ
Will this make my truck quieter than a standard performance muffler?
Yes. The Quiet Tone packing and louvered core reduce overall volume and cut drone under load vs. typical straight-through performance mufflers (MBRP indicates up to ~10% dB reduction).
Is the M2220A a direct swap for other MBRP 5" mufflers?
In most cases, yes. It’s designed as a direct replacement for MBRP 5" performance mufflers with similar 31" overall length. Verify your system length and hanger placement.
What’s the difference between M2220A and M2220S?
Same Quiet Tone design and dimensions; the M2220S uses T409 stainless for improved corrosion resistance.
Will this affect towing performance?
No negative effect. The high-flow core maintains exhaust velocity and backpressure appropriate for diesel towing while reducing cabin drone.
Do I need new clamps?
Recommended. If you’re not welding, use new 5" band clamps for a reliable seal and easier service in the future.
