Does exhaust tip shape affect sound?
Hey guys, I got a question for ya:
Can the shape or volume(space inside) of your exhaust tip affect the sound?
I heard from a friend of mine's step-dad that it does, that:
Round = mellow and quiet
Oval = Louder and snappy
Square = Deep and rumbling
Anyone know if this is true? Thanks guys, hope this doesn't sound stupid!

Yes, if the whole piping was different it would be deeper. And it really doesn't even have to be all of it, just post cat.
And on another note, going to large with exhaust diameter will cost you in tq and power. Exhaust requires velocity to make power, if it's too big, it's allowed to cool too much prior to leaving the pipe and will cause a restriction. There is a limit and myself, I wouldn't go over a 2.5 inch on the biggest thing you can get in a ranger. On a turbo or SC car, bigger is better to an extent but once again, you can still go to big.
Damn typing with these pain pills is a PITA.

anyway ok thanks guys, he might have been trying to be a smart-*** infront of me. I always thought that if you had long/wide enough tips it would make it deeper, ohh well, thanks again guys!
