Go for the bigger tail pipe... it'll make the sound a touch deeper and louder

 

Yeah, because if I get the 2.5 tail pipe I'll be running 2.5 pipes all throughout the truck with a 2.5 muffler.
I can probably find tail pipes anywhere, any good specific brands? And will bending and cutting have to be done?

 

Your muffler shop can probably order one in that's a direct replacement... but 2.5" instead.

Any good shop should be able to bend one up for ya no problem, unless you want a fancy looking tip on the end, in which case, as long as it's stainless steel, and you like the looks of it, the shop can put it on the end of the tailpipe for ya.

 

I have to look for a shop near me who could install the muffler so they can order a larger pipe for me. Originally I was gonna take it to my mechanic but a performance shop would obviously be better.
I was looking at universal 2.5 inch pipes that require welding, but there's pretty good flowmaster tail pipes.

 

If you get one bent by the shop, make sure they use a mandrel bender...

The tailpipe is just that... a piece of pipe, lol.

The shiny part at the end is just a tip...

 

Yeah, I might buy a tip for it. I want a pretty big tip.

 

this is what my tip looks like.

CLICK (huge pic BTW)

that picture makes it look like the tip on the right is sticking out further than the tip on the left. thats just b/c of the curve in the bumper. i promise, it really is straight

 

Yeah, those are nice tips, I was looking at a few like that but I'd probably get stainless steal since it's cheaper than chrome.

 

I need to get a fancy tip for mine one of these days, lol... maybe go for a double outlet like that, see how it affects my sound...

 

I'm not sure which looks better, a tail pipe that comes out the side, or a tail pipe that goes straight out the back.
If I got one that goes straight out the back, I'd put a dual tip on it, but I think it would look weird coming out the side.
