Need more info...
Is your exhaust just stock, or do you have a loud muffler, high flow cat, straight pipe etc.??

Changing your tailpipe on a stock exhaust won't give ya much. Pipes should remain at around 2.25"-2.5" ...Tips make minimal difference, imo 4" tips look nice.

I've got 2 1/4" true duals and 12" glasspacks with 3 1/2 tips. I love the sound. It's loud though! 2 1/4" pipe is plenty if you're running true duals.

If I were to redo mg exhaust I would do a si/so sounds a lot better than d/o mufflers . Also highflow cats make a major diffrence in sound!

I dont know but it may be that "rappy" sound you are looking for comes from unbaffled mufflers. Unbaffled muffler exhausts don't necessarily have to be super loud either. Mines not all that loud anymore after I installed the unbaffled magnaflow muffler. It's loud enough for me though.

The exhaust I have now is 3 inch piping y-piped 3-inch piping after that and angled at 45* and 3 1/2 inch tips. NO MUFFLER and STOCK CAT. And would having straight cut tips or slash cut tips have anything to do with a rrappy sound

Mine has a very "rappy" sound to it... I hate it, it's high on the list to go...

My setup currently is a custom (texas custom ) y-pipe into 2.5" straight to a 12" glasspack, then spit to dual 45 degree outlets with 4" (?) tips.

Would having a straighter cut tip or a slashed cut tip help with a crappy sound. And would having my exhaust at 90 degree angles at the end change its sound than having 45 degree angles at the end.

I don't know how much it changes a muffled setup but when I straight piped my factory exhaust cutting the last 90 off the back made it sound much better, and I don't think the slash in the tip makes any difference....
