Will an exhaust tip

[donaldbc]

change the sound of the exhaust?

some exhaust tips do, others are pure looks.
personally, i dont like the sound they create (reminds me of a dirtbike in a tunnel). the chrome ones that dont change the sound are nice.

No, they don't change the sound.

Depends. If you get a regular one like me, the exhaust tone will be changed slightly, but you have to get down next to it to notice. Dont wanna do that too much though I'll get you a link whenever I get home. Its like a regular tip, except it turns down at the end, so the exhaust is directed at the ground. The Borla intercooled tips might change it a bit more, but for the price of them, you'd be better off to just buy a new muffler and have change. Even if a tip dont change the exhaust note, they sure look good

I recently got a cheap chrome tip from pepboys for $3.50 that just screws on. I got it because we had to sawzall my tailpipe short so it wouldn't get crushed in Moab. Thus, my exhaust was exiting before the bumper, which I didn't like. Anyway, because of where the exhaust now exits (under the bumper, not before it), the sound is mellower in the cab and a bit louder outside. It sounds good though.

my tips did change the sound a little. they quieted it down a little but they then sounded more like a boat. i have 4" tips which i got when i was exhaust happy. i would only go with 3" now and i would have both exit on the passenger side. there are a lot of bends to get that second pipe to the drivers side. actually i kind of like the tips the harley f-150 has. they are oval shaped and connected on the passenger rear.

first off you dont drive a honda dont put just a tip on it.

second no it wont change the sound.

resonated tips will change the sound drastically

regular tips will alter the sound a little...probably not enough to notice
