i dont have tips on my truck as of now, will the sound change if i put tips on?

 

I picked up a cheap resonator tip long before I had my flowmaster, I did notice a difference but not nearly enough to justify the $15

 

i got a 20" stainless tip with i think a 4" opening and when i got it on i heard it without it and it sounded more high pitch and when i put the tip on it made the truck sound deeper and more or a growel to it. the back fireing wasent as tinny and i think it sounds much better

so wider tip = deeper
narower tip = louder and tinnyer i think

listen to my video below and u cna see what mine sound like

 

well i have been told that my 3.0 with a flowmaster and stainless tips sounds better than some 4.0's or even V8's without stainless tips... i would take it with a grain of salt since i cant tell the difference and i only got the stainless tips to prevent rust

 

Yeah, I have a stainless steel tip on mine, and there's no change in sound. I just like it better then the rusty looking stocker. If you're looking for sound, get an after market muffler.

 

I'm running Stainless tips on mine too. If the diameter of the tip is larger then the diameter of the pipe, the sound should change a little. I can easily fit a 20oz. of Mt. Dew in my tips if that gives you a size idea. If you get a smaller diameter pipe and tip, you'll get more of a cherry bomb effect. More pop then deep resonance. Just depends on your taste....that and remember, its a pretty big V6, but it's only a V6. There's only so much sound you can get out of it.

 

I dont have a pipe sticking out, just a turndown spout coming out of my 1 chamber flows, and lets just say that i drone out every other ranger out on the road.

EDIT: The 10 series "1 chamber" mufflers are louder than the 40series flows. Honestly, I like the look of no tailpipe on trucks, just looks kinda mean.

 

A larger tip acts like a megaphone, everyone knows what a megaphone is right? If you have a 2 inch pipe to from the muffler to the back of your truck, then slap a 3 inch tip on it, it WILL make it louder and deeper. Also, the longer the tip is, the more the sound gets amplified and changed.... So if you have a 6 inch long tip on the end vs. a 18 inch long tip the sounds will be different, IE louder and deeper on the longer tip becasue of the resonance.....

 

I think that pipe thickness also has alot to do with tone. Thicker pipe diameters (ie OD-ID) tend to sound deeper whereas thin cheap pipes tend to sound tinnier and also vibrate more, making a bad sound

 

yep after my 18" 3" round tips its completely different

 

Does any know what a semi truck exhaust pipe would sound on the ranger..

A 6-8 in tip about a feet long?

 

borla sells tips that mess with the sound there about 50-60 bucks a tip though

 

I can't find one for my ranger, it came from factory like this:



see even the cat knows it's diff.

 

^^^ What do you mean you can't find one, there are tons of tips out there...

 

 

everything I try is too small, or way too big... and then after it goes past that bulge it slips... I'm still looking, got one more place to go, I know one thing, this truck does sound diff... sounds like it has a lil low tone to it :)

Where some other 07 guys? yall found one?

I got demensions myself... the big part of exhaust is 2.5" in diameter, and about 7" in length

 

That is how my 04 came as well.... The best thing to do is get a nice stainless one welded on.... Or get one from the dealer that comes with the chrome accessories package....

 

Tips don't change the sound of your exhaust. You people are hearing things. Anything bigger then 3" dia on a Ranger is just stupid and looks retarded. 4" pipe is ment for diesels...not Rangers.

 

I agree with you that bigger than 3" is stupid on anything but a diesel.

However, tips do change the tone of exhaust, as long as they are larger than the pipe they are connected to....

 

yea, I'm just gonna leave mine alone till I turn it into a turndown... :)
