Key Features & Benefits

Superior Sound Control:

The dual-core technology combines optimal exhaust flow with advanced sound suppression, delivering a refined acoustic profile ideal for daily driving and towing applications. The spiral louvered core design accelerates exhaust gas flow while the chambered construction captures and attenuates unwanted resonant frequencies.​

With over three times the packing material compared to conventional performance mufflers, the M2220A effectively eliminates drone under load and towing conditions. The larger 8-inch body diameter accommodates significantly more sound-deadening material while maintaining the free-flowing 5-inch core, resulting in a deep, refined exhaust note.​

Advanced Core Design:

The spiral louvered core technology offers superior sound attenuation compared to perforated designs. This proven technology has established itself as the preferred choice for serious enthusiasts who demand both performance and acoustic refinement. The louvered design traps exhaust gases within designated chambers, enabling better frequency reduction across the critical 1,600-2,000 RPM range where most cabin noise occurs.​

Durable Construction:

Heavy-gauge aluminized steel tubing resists dings, dents, and corrosion from road debris and environmental exposure. This robust material is ideal for both dry and moderate climates, providing excellent durability and rust resistance at an economical price point compared to premium stainless steel alternatives.​

Universal Fitment:

As a direct replacement for all MBRP 5-inch performance mufflers, this muffler fits most 5-inch exhaust systems. The center/center inline design ensures straightforward installation and fitment compatibility. Prior to purchase, customers should measure their current exhaust system to confirm 5-inch diameter compatibility.​

Performance Characteristics

Sound Profile:

Delivers a deep, controlled diesel exhaust tone with moderate volume levels. The muffler significantly reduces interior cabin noise while maintaining an aggressive sound during acceleration. Perfect for applications where cab noise reduction is essential without sacrificing the characteristic diesel rumble.

Exhaust Flow Performance:

The high-flow spiral louvered core accelerates exhaust gas flow for maximum performance characteristics. The design minimizes backpressure while providing superior sound control, resulting in maintained throttle response and sustained power output. The approximately 5% additional flow restriction inherent to louvered designs translates to improved low-end torque characteristics.​

Installation Profile:

• Installation Time: Approximately 2 hours

• Difficulty Level: Light to moderate mechanical skill required

• Design Type: Weld-on construction for permanent installation

• Center/Center Configuration: Ensures proper alignment and fitment

Material Specifications

The aluminized steel construction features mild steel with a protective aluminum coating, making it an excellent option for customers seeking quality performance at an economical price point. This material excels in dry climate conditions and provides robust protection against corrosion and environmental degradation. The heavy-gauge construction ensures durability and resistance to cracking or warping under extreme exhaust temperatures.​

Why Choose the MBRP M2220A?

Proven Core Technology: The spiral louvered design has been extensively tested to deliver maximum sound attenuation while maintaining unrestricted exhaust flow. This technology outperforms perforated alternatives in frequency reduction effectiveness.​

Drone Elimination: The combination of increased packing material and larger body diameter effectively cancels out resonant frequencies that cause cabin drone, particularly during highway cruising and sustained load conditions.

Optimal Performance Value: As part of the Installer/Armor Lite series, this muffler delivers professional-grade sound control at an economical price point, making it accessible to enthusiasts seeking premium acoustic refinement.

Direct Replacement Capability: Designed as a drop-in replacement for existing MBRP 5-inch systems or as an upgrade to alternative configurations, the M2220A integrates seamlessly into most 5-inch exhaust platforms.

Technical Advantages

The 8-inch body diameter is significantly larger than standard 5-inch or 6-inch mufflers, allowing for maximum sound-deadening packing without restricting the core exhaust flow path. This engineering approach maintains optimal performance while dramatically reducing resonant frequencies.

The spiral louvered core design provides superior sound dampening compared to perforated alternatives while introducing minimal backpressure. The thicker inner wall construction withstands thermal stresses associated with high-temperature exhaust flow better than thin-wall perforated designs.​

The aluminized steel construction provides reliable corrosion resistance at a lower cost than premium stainless steel options, making it an ideal choice for budget-conscious enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on performance quality.

Warranty & Support

MBRP backs the M2220A with a 3-Year Limited Warranty covering defects in material and workmanship for the original purchaser. Standard warranty exclusions apply for damage resulting from accident, abuse, misuse, or misapplication.

Conclusion

The MBRP M2220A Quiet Tone Muffler represents the pinnacle of drone-elimination technology for serious diesel enthusiasts. With its advanced spiral louvered core, generous sound-dampening packing, and proven three-year warranty, this muffler delivers the perfect balance of performance, acoustic refinement, and lasting durability for drivers who demand professional-grade exhaust solutions.
