Straight or angle cut tip

Hey guys, ordered my 4" exhaust today. I started with a straight 5" tip in the cart, then ended up ordering an angle cut tip. Now I'm second guessing myself. Help an indecisive guy out!

i have the straight cut tip, and wish i would have gotten the angle "slash cut". mine is 5'' T-304, and if you dont like it, maybe we could trade for a few weeks to see if we like the other one better. LMK.

They function the same. I'd have gotten the cheaper one, as the looks between the tips are neutral to me.

Yeah, I did a little searching and didn't find one. Didn't really want to bother everyone with such a silly post, but it's kind of fun to see what everyone like and the differences in opinion.

Well, if I have to pick, I say straight. That's what I have now and don't want to think I need to go spend more money on an angle. But, on stacks, I like the angle.

Edit: Hink, just saw that you have an X. I think an angle would look best for you.

Thumbs up Angle

I like my angle cut. I believe the angle has a slighlty different sound then the straight...but not sure...i'll bet Garret at BCD would know.

It has a angle cut stock, seemed to look good. That's why I changed my mind after I looked at it. The more I look at the ss 5" angle tip, the more I like it!

Sounds like you've pretty much got your mind made up.
