Do exhaust tips change the sound of your exhaust?

The shape and width of the exhaust tip can slightly change the sound to be either more throaty (larger tips) or raspy (smaller tips). On their own, though, muffler tips will have a minimal effect on exhaust sound.

How do you make a throaty exhaust sound?

If throaty is what you want go with a prochamber or an h pipe. X pipes tend to make the pitch of the exhaust under load a little bit more higher pitched. As most say the x pipe gives it a more exotic sound versus the h or the prochamber give it a deep throaty sound.

Does shortening an exhaust make it louder?

Is it Louder? Yes.

Where Can I drill a hole in my exhaust to make it louder?

Do engines get louder with age?

In my experience, most of the noise is usually generated by the valvetrain. It tends to go out of adjustment over time and will be the noisiest when it is cold – which is usually when you decide to inspect the engine. I would check to see whether your vehicle requires a valve adjustment if it seems excessively noisy.

How do I know if I have a bad engine compression?

Here are some of the signs that point to low engine compression:

1. Misfires. Engine misfires are a common sign of low engine compression in one cylinder.
2. Loss of power. Besides making the engine run rough and the vehicle jerk as it moves, misfiring also leads to power loss.
3. Poor fuel economy.
4. Failure to start.

What does a bad idle sound like?
