MBRP High-Clearance Tour Cat-Back Exhaust | 2021-2026 Ford Bronco 2.3L & 2.7L EcoBoost

MBRP High-Clearance Tour Profile Cat-Back Exhaust for 2021-2026 Ford Bronco EcoBoost

Bottom Line: The MBRP S5245AL High-Clearance Cat-Back Exhaust is engineered for Ford Bronco owners seeking improved exhaust flow, enhanced throttle response, additional horsepower, and superior off-road clearance without excessive exhaust volume.

Because: MBRP testing demonstrated flow improvements of up to 87% on the 2.3L EcoBoost and up to 32% on the 2.7L EcoBoost, with gains of up to 8 horsepower and 8 lb-ft of torque on the 2.7L platform. The high-clearance design helps protect the exhaust system during demanding off-road use while maintaining a comfortable Tour Profile sound level.

"Performance gains begin with efficient airflow." This principle remains fundamental to modern turbocharged engine tuning and exhaust engineering.

The Ford Bronco was built to explore beyond pavement, but factory exhaust systems are often designed around manufacturing efficiency and broad-market sound requirements. For enthusiasts looking to unlock additional performance while improving trail capability, the MBRP S5245AL delivers a purpose-built solution.

Featuring 3-inch mandrel-bent tubing, the system maintains consistent internal diameter throughout the exhaust path, minimizing restrictions that can negatively affect turbocharger efficiency. Improved exhaust evacuation allows the EcoBoost platform to operate more effectively under acceleration, towing, and off-road driving conditions.

One of the defining advantages of the S5245AL is its high-clearance rear exit design. Traditional exhaust routing can become vulnerable when navigating rocky terrain, deep ruts, steep departures, and technical obstacles. MBRP's elevated routing helps reduce exposure while preserving valuable ground and departure clearance for serious trail use.

The Tour Profile sound tuning provides a refined exhaust tone that is deeper than stock without introducing excessive cabin drone. This makes the system ideal for daily drivers, long-distance travelers, and overland builds where comfort remains important during extended highway mileage.

Manufactured from 16-gauge aluminized steel as part of MBRP's Armor Lite Series, the S5245AL delivers outstanding value while maintaining the same fitment and performance characteristics found throughout the MBRP lineup. The aluminized steel construction offers dependable durability and corrosion resistance for year-round driving environments.

The direct bolt-on design utilizes factory hanger locations and OEM mounting points, simplifying installation while ensuring precise fitment. No welding is required under standard installation conditions, making this an accessible upgrade for both professional installers and experienced DIY enthusiasts.

Whether your Bronco serves as an overland platform, trail machine, daily driver, or weekend adventure vehicle, the MBRP S5245AL provides measurable performance gains, improved exhaust flow, enhanced sound quality, and trail-ready clearance in one complete package.
