Everything You Need To Know About Exhaust Tips For Trucks

It’s time to give your heavy-duty beast a custom makeover! Custom truck exhausts are the best way to set your truck apart from the rest of the crowd. But did you know, custom exhaust tips are more useful that just improving appearances? In this blog, we’ll give you the lowdown of how to personalize your big wheels and make the most of this functional mod!

But before we do, let’s clear out the basics.

How Do Exhaust Tips Help Your Truck Exhaust System?

The sole purpose of am exhaust tip is to improve the visual appearance of your beast on road. These are typically after purchase accessories that change the way your truck looks. If you want to add some personalization to the truck exhaust system, custom exhaust tips could be the best investment you’ll ever do.

Apart from making your truck look like a million-dollar vehicle, exhaust tips can also improve the truck performance and its sound. The best part is, benefits of an exhaust tip also include easy installation and maintenance. They are also super affordable when you buy them from verified autobody accessory shops.

What Are The Different Types Of Exhaust Tips Available In The Market?

If you’re just starting out with your truck modification journey, understanding the different types of exhaust tips available can help you take the right call.

Single Wall Tips- This is one of the classic choices for exhaust tips that’s easy to install and comes in a wide range of sizes and styles.

Double Wall Tips- These tips contain two layers of turbine and can give you the carefree aggressive look you’ve always wanted for your truck.

Angle-cut Tips- This is one of the most popular options for a 4×4 vehicle where the angular edged tip gives your truck a more muscular look.

Rolled Edge Tips- If you want your exhaust system to look larger, stronger, and bigger, these thick, pipe-like tips with a rounded outlet can do the job for you.

Turndown Exit Tips– Also known as the dump-out tip, these tips resemble a tap with the tip curved towards the ground. These tips can modify your truck’s exhaust sound really well.

Intercooled Tips- If you have high performance in mind but don’t want to compromise on looks, the intercooled tip with its turbine fins will be perfect for you.

How To Select The Right Material For Your Exhaust Tip

If you want to give your truck a brand-new look, opting for custom truck exhaust should be the next on your to-do list. But how to decide which look will suit your beast the best? Let us help.

The most popular material choice for exhaust tips are stainless steel. However, chrome finishes are a quick runner-up too. If you want a more down-to-earth look, matte finishes could be the one for you. If you want to turn heads as you roll by, you can also opt for a polished or a brushed finish for your exhaust.

The Impact Of Government Regulations On Muffler Design In Automobiles

One of the most noticeable negative aspects of internal combustion engines is noise. With the growing number of cars on the road, governments attempted to limit this noise by insisting on muffler installation. Put most simply, a muffler is any device that reduces sound.

In the context of automobiles, this sound reduction is done by catching the exhaust of the engine and routing it through a series of baffles. These baffles force the sound waves to collide and cancel each other out.

While this noise reduction is necessary, it comes at a price – engine efficiency. The process of catching and forcing the exhaust through sound baffles slows it down so that the exhaust behind it builds up as back pressure. This back pressure works through the entire system and creates a bottleneck. The entire performance automobile industry has been working for years to eliminate this problem while still retaining the noise deadening effect.

The first, and to date most effective, measure has been the simple increase of exhaust capacity. Using larger than normal exhaust pipes to route the exhaust to multiple mufflers reduces the back pressure. The stereotypical hot rod car with several exhaust pipes peering out the sides or back of the vehicle is using this strategy.

The second area where experimentation in the muffler world is happening is baffle design. By changing the shape of the sound baffles that eliminate the noise, many designers are hoping to come upon a shape that serves the primary purpose while still allowing free exhaust passage.

The third option being explored is creating separate systems that interrupt the exhaust process to reduce back pressure. Periodically sucking the pressurized exhaust into a separate muffler chamber can temporarily reduce the back pressure. This approach is a cousin to the classic increased exhaust capacity option, but the goal is to create a bolt on option that can eliminate the issue without a complete rebuild of the exhaust system.

They say that necessity is the mother of invention. Mufflers are one of those fascinating case studies where governmental regulation creates a necessity that is pushing the entire automobile industry to find an invention.

Functional Differences between Mufflers and Exhaust Systems

It’s not always easy to discern the differences between mufflers and exhaust systems. That’s probably because some of us are guilty of liberally swapping the terms whenever it suits us, but this practice needs to stop. End that confusion by remembering a muffler is a chamber for “muffling” the noise generated by the exhaust system. Then, drive that point home by knowing the full architecture of a top-of-the-line exhaust system.

What is A Muffler?

This chamber lives as an inline component within the exhaust system. It’s generally located at the end of the pipes, just before the tailpipe. Now, there might be a tailpipe extension down there, perhaps a couple of mechanical clamps supporting the additional pipe section, but this noise attenuator is still located at the rear end of the piping. It’s generally filled with chambers and perforated tubes. Functionally, this little devil should absorb sounds so that the car runs quietly. Realistically, at least on performance vehicles, the pressure waves generated by the fast-moving gases are aggressively tuned by aftermarket mufflers so that they create a throaty roar.

Functional Differences

Aftermarket exhaust systems are designed to enhance cars by intelligently shaping certain performance curves. They improve engine breathing by widening the bores of the pipes, then assume a profile that accelerates the gas stream towards the tailpipe. Emission control takes place here as well, with O2 sensors and a catalytic converter taking charge of this environmentally responsible effort. Conversely, the muffler breaks away from this straight-line solution by adopting a bouncing mode of operation. There’s a resonation chamber in here, plus baffles and perforated tubes. Alternatively, straight-through mufflers dismiss the chambers, and their maximum flow characteristics do favour the engine, but these beasts deliver ear-splitting noise.

Resonator or Muffler: Is There A Difference?

The short answer is yes, their two chambers are not the same. A muffler, as covered earlier, is built to silence noise. Performance variants on this theme have introduced a resonator chamber inside the muffler, but this apparatus is still very much a sound attenuator. A purebred resonator targets certain sound frequencies and pulsed pressure waves. Essentially, if the car is mixing a high-frequency saw-like tone with its animalistic roar, the resonator will cancel out the higher tones, which then leaves behind pure animal.

Balance is a must here, so a quality-assured garage needs to get in on the act. The garage looks at chambered mufflers and straight-through solutions. The engineer balances the breathe-easy nature of the glass-pack with the quieter but pressure hampering qualities of the chambered muffler, all so that the inline unit functions as a hard-working member of the exhaust system’s pipes and boxes.

A couple of weeks ago I saw a post from someone who had fitted some neat looking ‘exhaust tips’ to the twin Akro’s on his RnineT … they looked very decent and given that they were less than £52 (approx €57) they seemed well worth a punt.

They arrived earlier this week and I’ve just spent all of ten minutes fitting them, and for such a modest amount of money and effort I think they make a very decent aesthetic improvement.

Fitting is simplicity itself – mine’s a 2016 model so the end caps and baffle are quick to remove with just the six security Torx bolts to undo. I gather that on later models careful use of a Dremel is required to take them out – but so such problems for me.

The fit and finish of the ‘tips’ really does seem to be first class and each tip comes with replacement allen bolts – some before and after pictures are shown below.

And it should probably go without saying that the exhaust tone is enhanced with the baffles out!
