Spends too much time on here
I can't imagine that tip size will have any thing to do with the sound...it's just an outlet.
It’s bigger so it HAS to be louder! It will also add a few HP for sure. Please don’t wake me from my dream

The sound will definitely be no different. However, you should get at least 3 additional horses going from a 4" tip to a 5"
Seriously considering buying the resonator delete based on what you shared thus far referencing the MCDS "noise" going away without the resonators. Holding off buying anything right now based on the fact the world's gone insane surrounding the virus and hoping that my job isn't impacted.
Curious on that, my Borla S-Type had drone from it. No resonators with that system.
I am now in the habit of cranking up and taping the Tow/Haul button...So much so that I forget I did it and go to do it and see that I already did it but don't remember doing it. Wish it would remain in that mode until I decide to turn it off myself instead of it defaults back to Off with new startup. This is with the stock exhaust, I don't do it to eliminate drone, I just don't like the way the truck responds with MDS, even with the pedal commander in Sport mode, I can feel the slight delay.
Quick question if anyone can tell me this...I'm after a little more exhaust note over stock, but will not tolerate ANY drone, will I accomplish this with this kit, and keep the stock muffler?
Thank you for the detailed answer. With the stock exhaust, if I pay real close attention I can hear when it's in MDS, but it doesn't annoy me at all on how it sounds, just how it feels from being in MDS and the moment it comes out of it...Kind of hard to explain. I haven't touched anything ANC wise either, my truck is relatively quiet unless under hard acceleration, which is normal. I was hoping to get a bit more volume out of it during idle and hard accel. with just this kit versus completely stock. Guess I'll wait until someone does it first and I can get a sound clip. Again, thank you for your reply.
I have been down many exhaust roads in the past with various other vehicles, including my SRT8 I currently have, and I ended up back with its' stock exhaust. But, with the stroker motor, and catless, it has plenty of volume. I like a good exhaust tone (subjective) but not a ton of volume, and cannot stand any drone (headache). Not as young as I used to be, lol.

I do not care about what mileage I get, as I do not pay for my own fuel, job perk. Fuel prices are dropping daily too, so I don't feel too guilty about it. I also have 3.92's and will be adding the same 285/55R22 Nittos as you in about a month. With the extra weight of the tires, I think running in Tow/Haul would be even more advantageous with it holding the gears longer and higher into the torque curve as far as feel and performance of the truck. When I run in tow/haul, the truck just feels lighter, less sluggish when I press the go pedal, without delay or hesitation and that's what I care about. I also think it would be a benefit to the brakes to have the engine braking it has while in tow/haul, especially with the larger heavier wheel/tire combo's. I wish I could turn Tow/Haul on and it remains until I turn it off, or be able to program that into it. I know very little about Alpha OBD, does anyone know if I could use that to do what I would like to do?Not sure if you care or not, but putting the truck in tow/haul mode will burn more gas than without. I have used the gear limiter set to 8th and it didn't seem to effect gas mileage, or if it did it was minimal. With tow/haul though it should be holding the lower gears longer prior to shifting causing what I would think would be a rather decent drop in mileage.
Of course, rolling around with 285/55R22 Ridge Grapplers on mine with 3.92 gearing I definitely don't get great gas mileage. I think I need to play with the PSI in these tires a bit though cause the truck sucks down the gas after install of the tires...of course these tires being double the weight may have an effect.
I am in the hopes that removing the rear resonators will have an all around positive effect to exhaust tone and removal of drone. If that doesn't work then I guess it's time I finally mess around with a HemHoltz resonator and try to dial the drone out that way.
