How does the lenght between muffler and tip affect the sound?

How will the sound be if I place the muffler so far back that I dont need a tip? will it be to loud.

The system will be 3,5" that splits up to two 3" with two round mufflers in the end, like on vettes....

 

From my knowledge, it will effect it barley if any. If your gonna mess with the tips, its probably gonna look better than it sounds.

And do u plan on doing something like this?

 

It's not how the sound is effected it's how much backpressure is made.

Example: Short tip or dumps will give you a very loud exhaust because the sound has a short length to travel.

Example: A long or very large tip, lets say 4" will be quieter then short or dump tips because the sound or exhaust gas has to travel a long and much wider distance.

So what you want to do is have shorter tips but not to short like dump, or to long like all the way out to the bumper, and a medium sized tip size like 2.5" at the biggest. This will give you a loud exhaust that will not get you pulled over but you will beable the be heard going down the street.

It also depends which way they are directed.

 

Thanks man

 

Elaborating on fiream's description a little.

He's kinda right. Think of it more along the lines of a trumpet and a tuba.

The trumpet puts out higher frequencies. The reason it does this is like fiream said, length and diameter. It's short and small. So the notes are played in the tenor range.

A tuba is long and a bigger diameter. So it puts out lower frequencies. More in the baratone range. And it's the same amount of spit flyin'!!!!!

However, the volume of the output is weird because our ears are weird. The trumpet will sound louder to us because it playes in a frequency range that is easy for our ears to detect.

The tuba doesn't sound as loud for the oppposite reason. The frequencies are lower in the 'comfort zone' of our hearing.

But the best part is, the louder that lower frequencies are played, the lower pitched they sound to us. Even though the frequency hasn't changed, our ear drums can't 'move' anymore, so they just move slower. And that fools our brains into thinking the sound is lower pitched than it really is.

One more thing. Lower frequencies (played at the same volume as higher one's) travel farther.

So if you want a lower, more destinct sound, use bigger and longer tailpipes. If you want it louder, albeit higher pitched, do like fiream said, use short tailpipes.
