hmm, you know, exhaust tip size really does have me wondering. my first cat back (dynomax) had 2 1/2" outlet tips whereas my 2nd system (magnaflow) magnaflow tips have 3" outlets. i know 2 different exhaust systems, so its not a accurate way to prove that bigger diameter tips produce a deeper tone, but i can say my system really does hum, not much rasp to the upper end.

 

its like the cowbell analogy that i used in another thread, the larger the tips are, the more metal is vibrating and the lower/deeper the tone is. more metal resonating and moving is gonna give you a better sound if all else is held equal

 

it sounds right in principle..... then again, so does communism. i would need first hand auditory confirmation to believe it.

 

well you kinda have already. big cowbell vs a little cowbell. basically, the only other way would be to have an exact same exhaust on two similar trucks with two different tip sizes, just a little too much variables in that...

 

or i could get some cheap tips and run the new exhaust without them then with them and decide. whats it gonna cost me? 50 bucks at most? i can live with that.

 

who needs an exhaust. lol.

 

haha you guys should of heard the detroit series 60 fire up in my shop today, open headers. haha wow. now thats mean sounding

 

screw tips get downturns or dumps..

 

i'm tellin you your not gonna see them anyway. its gonna cut before the roll pan do it still looks clean. only reason to run it that far back is to keep me sane.

 

to each his own, i personally like the look of a good set of tips coming out the back/side of the truck... thats just me tho
