MBRP MB2047 5" Aluminized Steel 45 Deg Mandrel Bend Exhaust Pipe 12" Legs Universal

Vehicle Fitment

• Universal - compatible with any exhaust system using 5-inch diameter tubing

Fitment Notes

• Universal fit - intended for custom exhaust fabrication, system repairs, and routing solutions; verify your system uses 5-inch tubing before ordering
• Sold individually - one bend per order
• No clamps or hardware included - clamps, hangers, and additional fittings are sold separately
• Compatible with MBRP's full lineup of 5-inch Garage Parts components including straight pipes, other bends, and adapters

Features

• Mandrel-bent construction maintains full 5-inch internal diameter through the entire 45° arc - no crushing, wrinkling, or reduction in pipe diameter that would restrict exhaust flow
• Deburred ends ensure a clean, flush fit when connecting to adjacent pipe sections, mufflers, or other components without gaps or fitment interference
• 16-gauge aluminized steel construction provides corrosion resistance and durable long-term performance in standard exhaust operating environments
• 12-inch straight leg lengths on each side of the bend provide ample material for trimming to length or for inserting into existing clamp joints during custom builds
• 45° bend angle handles routing changes in tight spaces - less abrupt than a 90° bend and more directional than a 22.5°, making it one of the most commonly used exhaust routing angles
• Part of MBRP's Garage Parts series - designed to pair with other MBRP 5-inch universal components for complete custom exhaust system construction
• Manufactured in Canada to MBRP's production standards

Product Description

The MBRP MB2047 is a universal 5-inch, 45-degree mandrel-bent exhaust elbow with 12-inch straight legs on each side, constructed from 16-gauge aluminized steel. It is part of MBRP's Garage Parts series - a comprehensive library of universal exhaust fabrication components designed for builders constructing or repairing custom 5-inch exhaust systems on diesel trucks, performance vehicles, or any application where 5-inch tubing is used. The 45° angle is one of the most versatile routing bends in exhaust fabrication, providing a meaningful directional change - enough to navigate around frame rails, crossmembers, fuel tanks, and suspension components - without the sharp restriction associated with a 90° bend.

The mandrel-bent construction is the defining feature that distinguishes this component from lower-quality crush-bent alternatives. In crush bending, the outside of the bend compresses and the inside buckles, creating a narrowed, wrinkled cross section that restricts flow and creates turbulence. Mandrel bending uses an internal mandrel that supports the pipe wall through the entire bend radius, maintaining a consistent round cross section and smooth interior surface throughout the 45° arc. The result is a bend that preserves the full 5-inch flow area from end to end. The deburred ends further ensure a clean interface with adjacent pipe sections, muffler connections, or system adapters, eliminating the sharp edges and raised burrs that can cause leaks or prevent flush pipe-to-pipe seating.

The MB2047's 12-inch legs on each side provide two practical advantages: enough straight length on each end to insert fully into a standard band clamp joint with sufficient overlap, and enough material to trim down if the specific routing geometry of the build requires a shorter straight section before the next connection point. The aluminized steel construction provides corrosion resistance adequate for most performance exhaust environments and is the same material used in MBRP's entry-level complete exhaust systems. The MB2047 is sold individually - builders requiring multiple bends for a complex routing path should order accordingly.
