with your cats still on you could have just run straight pipes. Screwing with the tips wont make much difference in decible levels. Loose the cats, or loose the mufflers.

I've got straight pipes after the cat and a set of Gibson headers on my 92 5.8L f-150. It's not very loud at all. Taking of the catalytic converter would help lots.

Dont take the cats off. Buy a k&n dual outlet cone air filter. It makes a huge difference in sound and only costs about 55 bucks and goes right on the end of the stock intake tubes.

this is true....under hood temps are always toasty tho.
If you can pop the hood and see the filter element, its not good.
