Could just be a chrome exhaust tip, even if it is welded on.

Check the muffler for branding.. plus your truck would sound louder if it was a full aftermarket exhaust- Id think youd notice.

Shoot, everybody knows chrome adds 10hp, flames add 15hp... :D

Seriously, it might change the sound of the exhaust a little, I know my big/long chrome tips gave my exhaust a little deeper tone.

i cant even tell how different my exhaust really sounds due to being hard of hearing lol when i drive i can hear the whir of the engine but thats not the sound of the exhaust right? lol

dont get me wrong lol i can hear loud exhaust just fine lol the other day i heard a camaro that was loud but it sounded like SHIT! like a fan was hitting some sticks as it spun lol

It can change sound, but not performance. I know this from personal experience.

For some the cut of the end of the tip could keep the smoke and crap off your paint job...
