Will a Resonator Exhaust Tip Make My Car Sound Louder

Question:

I have a flowmaster super 44 its a single exhaust. My question is if I put on a resonator tip will it make it quieter or louder. Right now its got a nice low rumble not too loud just right,but I would like to know if a regular tip or a resonator? And does the width make a difference?

Using a resonated exhaust tip such as part # PM-5104 would make the exhaust sound more crackly, for lack of a better term, than the stock exhaust and it might be slightly louder. A resonator exhaust tip causes the air to vibrate a certain way in a hollow cavity which produces a certain sound. If you want to keep the exhaust pitch the same then a tail pipe like part # MF35212 would be a better way to go. The width of the tailpipe will not noticeably change the sound of the exhaust system.
