    Does a 3" downpipe make a big difference in sound?

    I put the thrush muffers from napa on the car that I had and they were ok. But they had a bad drone because I didnt have tips on for a few weeks. The sound will like echo really bad inside the cab because the exit for the sound and gases are still under the car, so put tips on and the sound is much better.
