Usually the tips make it sound louder, but I quess it was louder dumped with the sound reflecting off the road. My truck has a better sound with tips, but I am currently not running any.

I have the large oval tips from Meg's. I love them. They do change the sound.

The exact same exhaust system on the Yukon(with smaller tips) is waaaay raspy. My truck has a "deep burble" to it, if that makes any sense.

I want to try a pair of steel 4" 24" long tips dumped at the axle. Right now it has a pair of 70's trans am turndowns dumped at the axle

I've got smallish turndown tips off my 40. I love it.

I think they tighten the sound and make it crisper. Maybe even a little louder

Running the muffler straight with no turndowns seems to be deeper. But I think the exhaust might burn stuff.

The trans am style turndowns are stainless steel made by pypes.

I just want to try something different. I think a pair of big wazoo tips will make the tone deeper. Old street rodders called those style tips echo cans.

You could try dumping your current exhaust and it will get louder, but it won't sound like the Flows...Flowmasters are pretty distinct in their sound.

As for your misfire, if you know that spark is good, O2's are good, I'd take care of the basics first. Check compression to make sure that there's nothing mechanical, and if that's OK, check fuel pressure, or you may have a bad/clogged injector. You could try running some injector cleaner through it or swapping injectors from one cyl to another if you know which cyl is misfiring at this time. If you swap that injector to another cylinder and the misfire follows it, the injector is at fault.

thanks for all the replys which i still have the flows on it it just sounds like glass packs which the misfire goes away after engine warmed up and its a weird clacking sound o out the drivers side tip until warmed up
