yeah just changing the tail pipes to a bigger size will not make the exhaust much louder. Changing the muffler is the single most effective way to gain more sound.

Changing the tailpipes "WILL NOT" change the sound.

Changing only the tips wont do anything. I must have changed the tips on my stang atleast 3 times and didnt notice anything. Did it on a 6.0 diesel with magnaflow exh and didnt do anything. It is only a myth!

Lol. Yours isnt nearly as loud as mine[8D] Yours is from the y pipe. Mine is an xpipe with no catsss.
well yours isn't as loud as mine..how you like them apples! LOL

3" exhaust to put on a v6 is stupid, plain and simple. YOu will NEVER really make enough power to make the 3" piping worthwhile. IF YOU PLAN to go F/I than go 2.5" .....and thats about it.

And I'm willing to bet mine is louder than all of you.[8D]
Like AB said, 3" piping is way too large, you'll do more damage hp wise than you would good.
