Re: New exhaust...too poppy sounding

Are the ends of the pipe straight or cut at an angle? Years ago someone told me that when the tips are cut off at a 45 degree angle, the exhaust sounds better. So I cut off the tips of the exhaust on one of my vehicles. If you held the cut off piece back up to the pipe, and then took it away, it sounded different. Best way to describe it...when the ends are straight it sounds more "poppy". I would tape some angled pieces on your exhaust and see what kind of a difference it makes.
