MBRP exhaust difference

Does anyone know what the difference is between the Performance and Installer Series of the 4" exhaust?

I think one is aluminum and the other is stainless steel. Darn, I forgot which is which.

The installers series is about $80 more but I thought both were aluminum.

The Performance Series has a 2 year warranty and is Aluminized Steel. It doesn't come with a stainless steel tip.

The Installer Series has a 3 year warranty and is a Aluminized Steel. It Does come with a stainless steel tip.

The XP Series has a Lifetime warranty and is T409 Stainless Steel. It comes with a stainless steel tip.

The Pro Series has a Lifetime warranty and is T304 Polished Stainless Steel. It comes with a stainless steel tip.

This should answer your question. MBRP Inc Performance Exhaust - Snowmobile, Diesel, Muscle Car, Exotic, Motorcycle and Sport Truck Exhaust Systems. One thing to consider, The stainless you'll pay but it won't rust. The T409 type steel is as rugged and thick as our exhaust but will eventually rust over time unless you keep up on it, the aluminum is well, aluminium. Me personally and HO, go for at least the T409, it will hold out a very long time and its got a great warranty, Edit: lifetime warranty. O yea, this link is just for reference, Call Clay, he'll set you up.

You would think so, but if you'll notice... they all have the same description.

I was planning on painting mine black with some high temp paint so that might get me an extra year or 2 of life. I am not too worried about rust, we don't get a ton of snow here in Kansas and I am pretty good about washing the underside after everything dries up after snow.

Call Clay @ Riffraff, last I knew MBRP has their full line available in black. I was thinking of selling mine and getting the black series. Call Clay though, he'll get you set up. They have free shipping right now on exhausts.

I have the XP 409 SS kit on mine. Been on almost 3 years now with no issues. I wish I could've gotten the 304 kit though. I think it was about $200 more. I paid $490 shipped to my door with a 304 tip. If I have to do it again, I'm getting the 304 version...

Just read the T-409 and T-304 now , thought it was T-309 has a lifetime warranty. Tsmall09, you might have to navigate around that site, or do a search on the type of steel grade used in MBRP..

How does the MBRP install, we did a BullyDog system on a 6.0 leaker and I was not impressed on fitting of the system. Exhaust and 6637 are my next mods and I am leaning towards the MBRP
