Do Exhaust Tips Make a Difference? (No Tip VS 7" Tip Comparison) 

There's most definitely a difference that can be achieved when doing a 5" in 7" out exhaust tip. However depending on your preference, if you're trying to get a little extra growl but on a tamed level a double wall is the design to go with. But if you want deeper tone sounding growl and untamed you want a single wall exhaust tip. Being knowledgeable in musical instruments I utilized my knowledge of such to put a single wall exhaust 5" in 7" out exhaust tip on the 05 6.0 I drive and it is a massive noticeable difference. So just a suggestion to experiment with.. try a single wall. You'll notice the difference instantly. Nevertheless man awesome build. Keep it up and treat it well. 👍

I could be wrong, but I think most of the sound difference, is because without the tip some of the sound isn't escaping from under the truck, it hitting the inside of the bedside... With the tip on, all of the sound is escaping to open air.

I feel like the 7in tip just made the sound clearer

I have a 2015 F350 6.7 Powerstroke with a delete and left muffler and stock exhaust tip on it. I like the sound and it doesn't announce to law enforcement it's deleted. I think the huge exhaust tips look kinda silly but, it's not my truck so do what works for you. Nice truck.

My 2015 has a 4 inch axle dump, and I just replaced the 6 inch tip with a 10 and WOW is it ever different. Pretty happy with the sound, I also was able to tuck it up in there closer to the spare tire so it really doesn’t look all that obnoxious

A tip will always change the way a vehicle sounds. It may be minimal however, it changes the direction and pattern of airflow as well as the velocity.

I got an 8 inch tip of Amazon for $30 lmao it actually made my truck a ton louder

The tip seems to give more depth to the exhaust note

I wonder if the results of the test would be the same with a gas engine? I imagine that the closest thing would be one of the larger displacement ecoboost engines that way both engines would be using a turbocharger. In my next build it would be using a 5.3L LS with a S475 turbo and a 5 inch turbo back exhaust. Turbochargers like having a large diameter exhaust on their outlet flange to avoid as much backpressure as possible. As noted in Richard Holdner RU-vid videos.

If you’ve ever yelled through a paper towel tube or a cone, that’s exactly what an exhaust tip does. So yes it will change the tone.

Well if you look at ot from what kind of tip you have. Like yours is dual walled which absorbs more sound vs just a single layer would add more if an echo. And thats just from personal experience.

Juuuuust the tip 😏

I love your truck

You would have to record it in analyze the frequencies

I wish my 2013 power stroke would whistle I just love the way that sounds😩😩

Is it a true 7" tip with it being a dual wall exhaust tip? It seems like it would make the inside diameter smaller?

What’s the inlet on that tip?

What tip would you recommend

I think it would have been a lot easier to tell if you would have matched up each section to directly compare with each other instead of running through all the tests and then running through them all again

It was louder a tad with bigger tip

I felt it did!

Is that the stock turbo on it

I feel like if it was a weld on tip which someone should always get it would make more of a difference

1:22 vs 3:46

Are those venom hunter tires?

Sounds better with

Its a Ford f350 with the powerstroke 6.7.

I think without sounds better

I heard dual wall is good!

I have a 10 in on my 13 duramax makes a way way deeper growl

Echos sounds big time

Yeah turbo was more clear.

How do you get it to make the turbo spooling down sound when u let off??

About the same

better W/O

It’s pretty much a megaphone

Not that much to have spent over 100 bucks for it!

Sounds and looks worse with the tip

Why wouldn't it. Do you not know how sound works? Lmfao

Sounds almost exactly the same. Now I know I don’t want it thanks.

First

No difference
