FAQ
Is this a direct-fit part for a specific truck?No. MB2012 is a universal mandrel-bent elbow used for custom exhaust fabrication.
Can I clamp it, or do I have to weld?
You can do either. Many builders clamp for serviceability, then tack or fully weld once final routing is confirmed.
Will aluminized steel hold up to winter salt?
Armor Lite (aluminized) is budget-friendly and durable, but stainless resists corrosion longer in harsh climates. Choose based on environment and budget.
