    Tip size

    How much of a factor does tip size play when it comes to exhaust? Will a larger tip create a louder exhaust or will it be quieter or no difference? Performance wise anything? I wouldn't think so as far as performance. It what about volume? And observations or input is appreciated.

    Tips will help tone and deepen the sounds of the exhaust, not performance gain, but they make it sound better.

    Re: Tip size

    Yep, these two guys are correct. The tip just acts like a megaphone to the exhaust

    Re: Tip size

    Ok so I have access to some 4" tips just have to have them welded on. Currently have 3.5" tips on the truck. Think its worth the trouble?

    i went the cheap way and got 6" piece of duct work (3 feet long). it cost 2 bucks and change instead of what ever a real 6" tip cost's. it made it louder and deeper.
