Product Description
MBRP MB2048 is a universal 5-inch 90° exhaust bend with 12-inch legs, built from aluminized (Armor Lite) steel for durable, budget-friendly fabrication. Ideal for custom diesel systems where a clean 90° turn and consistent 5" flow are required.
Fitment / Use
- Universal 5" OD fabrication component — works with any 5" exhaust system where a 90° elbow is needed.
- 12" legs on both sides for easier placement, trimming, and clamping/welding.
- Material: Aluminized steel (Armor Lite) for corrosion resistance at a great value.
- Recommended for custom downpipes, tail sections, stack bases, and tight-turn sections.

FAQ
Is MB2048 slip-fit or butt-weld?
It’s a universal fabrication elbow. Most installs use band clamps or welding. Confirm OD/ID and your preferred joint style before cutting.
Will this fit my specific truck model?
It’s universal. Measure your space and routing; verify 5" tubing clearance, hanger locations, and turn radius before final welding.
What if I need a different angle or diameter?
See the MBRP alternatives above for 45°, 90°, and 180° options in 3.5", 4", and 5".
Can I combine this elbow with straight or muffler sections?
Yes. Pair with your choice of 5" straight sections, adapters, and a 5" universal muffler to complete a custom system. Ensure all pieces share compatible diameters.
What’s the coating/longevity like?
Armor Lite (aluminized) resists corrosion well for its price point. For harsher climates, consider stainless alternatives within the MBRP lineup.
