MBRP S5338AL Armor Lite Single Exit Cat-Back Exhaust for 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma

Vehicle Fitment

• 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma (3.5L V6; All Cab/Box Configurations; 2WD/4WD)

Fitment Notes

• 3.5L V6 engine only - does not fit the 2.7L 4-cylinder Tacoma variant
• Compatible with all cab and box configurations - Access Cab and Double Cab, short bed and long bed
• Single side exit configuration - one tip exits passenger side, replacing the factory exhaust routing
• Aluminized steel construction is recommended for dry climates with minimal rain or road salt exposure - not recommended for heavy snow-belt or high-salt environments

Features

• Street Profile sound tuning delivers a deeper, more assertive 3.5L V6 exhaust note under throttle while remaining composed and non-droning at highway cruise - a meaningful upgrade over the restrictive factory system without aggressive volume
• Single side exit configuration follows the factory exhaust routing and exits on the passenger side, providing a clean, direct-replacement appearance that upgrades the Tacoma's exhaust presence without altering the stock look
• Full cat-back design replaces all factory exhaust from the catalytic converter rearward for the maximum flow improvement available in a complete bolt-on package
• 16-gauge heavy-duty aluminized steel construction with fully sealed seams - the Armor Lite series delivers the same fitment precision and sound profile as MBRP's stainless steel systems at a value price point
• Mandrel-bent 3-inch tubing maintains a consistent internal diameter through all bends, reducing backpressure and lowering exhaust gas temperatures versus the factory system
• Mirror-polished T304 stainless steel single-wall rolled angle-cut tip (4-inch OD) provides a durable, bright finish at the side exit
• Welded-on hanger brackets align directly with factory OEM mounting points for a secure, rattle-free installation
• Bolt-on installation requires no welding, cutting, or drilling - all necessary clamps and hardware included
• Compatible with all cab and box configurations - no cab/bed length restrictions
• Backed by MBRP's 3-Year Warranty under the Armor Lite series designation

Product Description

The MBRP S5338AL is a 3-inch Armor Lite single side exit cat-back exhaust system engineered for the 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma equipped with the 3.5L V6 engine. Compatible with all cab and box configurations - Access Cab and Double Cab, short bed and long bed - the S5338AL is a universal fit across the entire third-generation Tacoma 3.5L lineup with no configuration exclusions. As a full cat-back system, it replaces all factory exhaust from the catalytic converter rearward, delivering improved exhaust flow, reduced backpressure, and lower exhaust gas temperatures throughout the system. MBRP's Street Profile tuning shapes a deeper, more assertive tone from the 3.5L V6 under acceleration while remaining composed at highway speeds - delivering a genuinely upgraded sound without the aggressive volume or cabin drone that comes with Race Profile tuning.

The single side exit layout mirrors the factory exhaust routing, exiting on the passenger side with a mirror-polished T304 stainless steel 4-inch single-wall rolled angle-cut tip. The larger 4-inch tip outlet is a noticeable visual step up from the factory exhaust and immediately updates the Tacoma's rear profile. The 16-gauge aluminized steel body features fully sealed seams to resist early rust-through, and welded-on hanger brackets align with the factory OEM mounting points for a secure, rattle-free fit.

The S5338AL is one of the most accessible entry points in MBRP's Tacoma lineup - covering eight model years across all cab and bed combinations without restriction, backed by MBRP's 3-Year Warranty under the Armor Lite designation. Buyers in dry climates looking for a value-tier cat-back with proven MBRP fitment, a genuine sound upgrade, and a clean single side exit appearance will find the S5338AL a straightforward choice. Those in snow-belt or high-salt regions should consider the Armor Pro T304 stainless variant for enhanced long-term corrosion resistance.
