Tone up!?

Frosstang00 · March 8th, 2008, 02:59 PM

Do 3.5" tips give a lower exhaust tone then 3" tips?...i always come up with obvious pointless questions haha

HMUSN · March 8th, 2008, 03:06 PM

Some say yes, and some say no. I say yes, when I 1st did an exhaust on my Duramax I did straight 4'' pipe no tip. then after a while I put a 5'' tip on it didn't change much. Then I put on single 5'' stack with 4" piping into it was louder and deeper. Then I again changed the stack to a 6" It made an noticeable difference it seemed to bellow more and the turbo whine wasn't as noticeable as before. The reason that my truck have changed a bit wa due to the different exhaust setups from regular over the axle exhaust to a stack through the bed. and typically an exhaust tip is form 12" to 6" long, my stacks where 32"

alright...cuz im doing full pypes exhaust (LT headers, o/r h-pipe and violators) and i want a lilttle bit lower tone and wasn't sure if i should get the cat-back with 3.5" tip instead of the 3" tip

futureMACH1racer · March 8th, 2008, 04:04 PM

the rule of thumb is smaller pipes with be more high ptched and you'll get that horrible crackling sound and bigger diameter pipes give a deeper throatier sound. I reccomend 3.5" tips. My car has 3" tips and they look too small.

if your doing full pypes exhaust, i honestly would do a mac prochamber...i wrote a thread on it...it sounds amazing

LOL! true I hate the crackle when you let off the throttle but I know some that really love the sound, IMO that crackle as you put it sounds like shit, but each to his or her own. I like the sound of a catted flowmaster setup but that is what I like and everyone has thier own opinion.

futureMACH1racer · March 8th, 2008, 04:24 PM

I have an off road h pipe and flowmasters on my Mach and it does that. I hate it! I haven't made my mind up on what exhaust I'm going to get yet. I'm open to suggestions.

cet2kill · March 8th, 2008, 04:42 PM

I guess I should have stated that I have a stock H pipe with cats with a flowmaster 2.5 cat back and I love the way it sounds, it may not be the most free flowing or the best sounding exhaust out there but I like the way it sounds, not too loud and no anoying crackle when I let off the throttle.

futureMACH1racer · March 8th, 2008, 04:46 PM

Mine isn't to loud either, but it doesn't sound that great. I really like the sound of the Borlas on a 4 valve, sounds amazing. Mine does however crackle like a bitch when you let off and that i don't like. My buddy agrees with you though he has Flowmasters on his Fox body and loves them.

cet2kill · March 8th, 2008, 04:53 PM

need to get some posts on here with video on and off the throttle with different exhaust to get a real feel for the different sounds.

futureMACH1racer · March 8th, 2008, 05:06 PM

I think that I'm either getting the Borla Stingers or Magnaflow Magnapacks.
