Anyone done anything with the exhaust tip?

[seafish]

OEM 3rd and 4th gen trucks use 4" exhausts.
Like others have said, the proper tips are 4" right at the base of the tip where the clamp is and then the are flared to 5" from there.

He thinks it's a MBRP tailpipe. It starts at 4" and before the axle it expands to 5" up n over the axle and out to the side. He took heat shield from old pile and added to 5" and added more heat shield to the factory rear air bag air line. It really does sound good!

The factory pipe shrinks to 3.5" over the axle so the new pipe opens it up.

He thinks it was around $150.

Isn't that "FULL IMAGE" beautiful???

So it attaches to the DPF and runs a 5" pipe practically to the tip?

DPF 4” short distance then 5” up and over axle all the way to tip.

I wonder why mine is different

Looks like a 4" ID exhaust to me.

Because it's the factory tailpipe?

I thought earlier it was just said the OEM tailpipe is 5"?

What post are you referring to??

I could be wrong, as I am a 3rd gen owner, but I am pretty sure that all of the posts indicated the AFTERMARKET tips are 5" with a 4" diameter reduction at the clamping point in order to fit the oem exhaust tip, which is integral to the oem exhaust pipe.

This is what I interpreted as you saying a 5" opening/tip on the OEM tip

The OEM doesn't really have a "tip"... it's just tailpipe to the end.

Well sorry if that confused you, but to me it means that the proper tips (i.e. the one you want to buy that fits) fit the oem 4" tailpipe at their base and expand to 5" from there.

Not your fault at all, my misunderstanding completely. Thank you

Glad we got that one figured out! Although it was fun watching the cat chase it's own tail. Everybody have a Merry Christmas and a very good New Year!

This is something my Son ADDED to his truck. DPF downstream replacement, NOT a tip.

Adding a 4" or 5" exhaust tip is simply a waste of money. If you want to add horsepower, along with respectable gains in fuel mileage, your money is better spent on nothing smaller than a 10-12" tip. It is also a chick magnet.

And make sure you have a large shackle, just in case you want to sled pull...

Well there ARE one size fits all solutions that offer great throttle reponse as well as a few laughs--
