Product Description
MBRP R1017 is a universal T304 stainless steel resonator designed to smooth tone and cut drone without choking flow. It features a straight-through perf-core, 3" inlet/outlet, a 22" body, and 26" overall length for easy packaging in custom 3" exhaust builds.
- T304 stainless steel construction for maximum corrosion resistance
- Straight-through perf-core to reduce drone and maintain flow
- Universal 3" ID/ID ends — weld or clamp into your system
- Body length: 22" • Overall length: 26"
Fitment
Universal for 3" exhaust systems on diesel or gas applications. Measure available space and existing tubing before ordering. Works in-line with 3" turbo-back or cat-back systems, or as a tone-tuner ahead of the muffler.

Installation Notes
- Recommended: TIG/MIG weld into place for best seal; lap-joint or band-clamp acceptable where space allows.
- Orient the perf-core with flow direction as needed; center/center design makes placement flexible.
- Verify clearance to driveshaft, brake/fuel lines, and heat-sensitive components.

FAQ
Will this reduce highway drone without killing power?
Yes. The straight-through perf-core targets drone frequencies while keeping flow high on 3" systems.
Is R1017 directional?
No strict direction; it’s center/center. Most installs place the seam away from the road. Ensure good alignment to prevent turbulence.
T304 vs T409 — which should I choose?
T304 offers superior corrosion resistance (best for salted roads or coastal climates). T409 is durable and cost-effective but may show surface rust over time.
Clamp or weld?
Welding provides the most durable, leak-free result. Quality 3" band clamps can be used where you want serviceability.
Will it fit my truck?
It’s universal for 3" tubing. Measure your available straight section length (allowing for slip depth and clamps) before ordering.
