Changing exhaust tips for different tone?

[06F350xl]

I have 4" turbo back, no cat, no muffler, no tip. Will adding a 5" or 6" tip change the exhaust tone at all?

No, it will not.

Maybe slightly but I doubt the human ear will catch it; or atleast not enough to justify spending the money.

Tips= cosmetic upgrade

I disagree, I am very particular about my exhaust. Both sound and looks, I have swapped many a tips on the same exhaust system and you can tell. The bigger diameter not as much but add some length with a diameter change and the note gets deeper.

I disagree as well. I have a 4" straight pipe. I drove it for a month or so without a tip. I ended up goin with 7" tip, 18" long. At WOT I definitely can tell the difference. Even at idle it sounds deeper.

It probably adds horsepower too.

No it doesnt. Me and my buddies all run tips for increase in torque. Were getting between 25-75 increase

Word on the street is that for every inch in diameter up to 8 inches adds 3hp and anything above 8 inches it's 5hp per inch. And torque increases are just rediculous.

Well hell, I have 20 feet of 6 inch pipe on my truck......it should be way faster lol.

But it does sound different than every othe 6.0 in town.

Does anybody have video with tip on tip off sounds?
