An exhaust tip is primarily a finishing and fitment part, not a muffler. It can alter the look and the direction of the outlet, but it will not reliably turn a quiet exhaust into a loud one or create a specific tone. These current, branded tips are worth considering when the outlet diameter, clearance and mounting method match the vehicle.

Buying tips

  • Measure the outside diameter of the existing outlet and the available straight length before ordering.
  • Choose an exhaust-system change, not a cosmetic tip, when the goal is a meaningful change in sound.
  • Keep the outlet clear of plastic trim, tires and trailer equipment, and check local noise rules before modifying an exhaust.
