Will a bigger exhaust tip make my truck louder?

How big should my exhaust tip be?

Inlet Size The inlet size of your exhaust tip must match the diameter of your existing tailpipe for a proper fit. For example, if your tailpipe has a 3″ diameter, choose an inlet diameter of 3″. Remember, your tailpipe may already have a tip, so be sure to measure the tailpipe, not the old tip.

Can a larger exhaust tip improve performance?
