big long tips

I was wandering what it would sound like to run 2inch straight pipes off of the headers and then run that into about a 3 foot long tip with the diameter of about 3.5 inches. Would it give it a clean deep sound? thats what my friends jeep has except he has pipes off the headers that are about 4 inches in diameter and about 3 foot long. It is loud and has a deep rumble to it.

Damn... your looking for some 3 foot tips. Longest I've ever seen are 24". And on what engine are you going to run 2" piping on?? Seems too small for a V8...would have too much backpressure...
Anyhow... I'd look at summitracing.com, jegs.com, or bigexhaust.com for some nice tips.

I'm talking about making some. I thought the pipes was 2 inch but they are 2 1/4 inch. would it give it a deep clean rumble?

That will be EXTREMELY LOUD if you are talking about running 2.25" piping and some 3'x3.5" tips right off the headers...The tips should deepen up the tone a bit. I have a 3.5" tip coming out in front of my pass rear tire and I wish I'd have gone with a 4" tip now (3.5 looks too small). What engine is this going on??

It's on a 302. I ran straight pipes for a while that were shotguned right behind the cab. It was loud but not the tone i wanted. It was a loud raspy tone, not a deep rumble like i wanted. So if i stoped the 2.25 pipes about in the middle of the cab and ran it into some 3.5 inch 3 foot tips what would it sound like. I bet it would give it a deep rumble.
