I just order 3 inch dual tips (2 on each side) for my car. I was wondering what characters of tips change the pitch. ie. Do dual tips on each side sound lower in pitch or louder than regular tips. Does the diameter affect anything? Does slanted cut do anything?

I like my duals, but I Think the big ole coffee cans are probably louder. They look horrible though. IMHO.1997 Chevrolet Camaro v6 - 13.8@104MPH

changes alot, i have a friend who has the same flowmaster 80 series exhaust with slash tips and mine are dual dual tips and mine sounds better... it might be because i have no cat but it sounds better none the less...

I will argue this untill the day i die, Different tips do NOT make and exhaust sound any different noticably, the change is quieter or louder, the only way you will notice it being louder is if you have a 18"long tip that measures 6" in diameter. See what im getting at, most tips are 3" to 4" in diameter right, whether they are dual round, slashed, or square, that doesnt and will not effect the sound, i actually learned this at several muffler shops. ;)99 Firebird Vert, Pewter Metalic<br />Fast Toys Ram Air<br />Jet Stage 2 Chip<br />17x8 Mille Miglia Emotion II Plus\'<br />wrapped in 245/35/17 Yokohama A520<br />Rhino Perf.

it makes a difference...the smaller the difference in the tip, the less the difference in sound...<b>Black</b> 1998 Pontiac <i>Firebird</i> A-4 swap<br />271.4rwhp/259.4rwtq NA<br />13.30@102.44 <br /><a href=\"http://www.freewebs.com/wickedsix98\" target=\"_blank\">www.freewebs.com/wickedsix98</a>Comment

i agree some larger tips might give off a more of an echo sound because its like sticking a megaphone on it (those things that cheerleaders have whatever there called) so im sure it does something thats just my .02 cents :D94 chevy truck - SOLD!!<br />92 toyota tercel - beater SOLD!!<br />88 Rx7 se - SOLD !!<br />88 MAZDA RX7 CONVERTIBLE NOWComment

The larger tips probably do sound louder, but with my Flowmaster muffler I really don't need louder. I like my dual tips a lot and they sound and look nice.

I have a 97 3.8 with a Flowmaster 80 series and dual tips...it sounds real mean, I love it! But I think the difference in the tip definitely makes a difference in the sound. I've seen other 3.8L's with dual tips and they sound a lot meaner than the ones with quad tips. Plus, the shape of the tip does matter. I've found that 2.5" or 3" dual tips makes the car sound a lot deeper..I heard a 3.8 the other day with Z28 tips and all it did was bark.1997 Camaro RS A4 <br />3.08 Rear<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/470169\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/470169</a><p>Mods:<br />SLP Cold Air Intake<br />Flowmaster 80 Series Muffler <br />MSD Ignition Coils<p>Soon to be installed:<br />3.42 Gears<br />MSD Plug WiresComment

you should have done a search... to sum it up, they absorb higher pitched frequency(sound waves) and smooth out the sound... in doing so they also quiet the exhaust some.99 3800 NBM Camaro - (Xcessive Xcelleration Racing Team)<br />Ram/Cold Air Induction (custom)<br />Modified 4l60e Valve Body<br />Z28 Catback<br />SS Hood <br />Modified 99 GM 3800II <br />JB Performance Engineering<br />jfbperformance@cox.netComment
