Do exhaust tips have an effect on exhaust sound/tone? I'm wondering if they have any sort of effect on the way an exhaust sounds. I currently have the dual dual tips and I'm thinking of getting a pair of 3-4 inch rolled tips. Will this change much if anything?

the resonance and all can be changed by the tips...but goin from what u wanna go to there shouldnt be any difference....Ive heard a difference in the round vs square tips and the size of the tips.....

I switched from a larger tip to a basic 3 inch tip. I like a more mellow sound. I had too much reverberation with my larger tips. If you go from one extreme to the other you will definitely hear a big difference in your exhaust note. Take your tips off and just listen through the tails. You should notice a big difference if you have larger tips.

Yes, a tip change can certainly make a difference in exhaust tone.

When a friend put his corsa on the car we listened to it with and without tips and it was a noticable difference. It sounds a little more raspy/high pitched without em.
