You could cut off half the exhaust, save 30 lbs, and use a 3 inch exhaust with a turn down on it...
Depends on the application.
I guess if you're refering to a Honda with a exhaust tip, then no....it doesnt improve anything.

But a larger, more free-flowing exhaust manipulates backpressure so that forced-induction engines can breath/flow better.

anyone with FI knowledge knows this.
It amazes me that some folks claim to be auto enthusiasts, and yet don't know about this.

anywho, thats why im here...to help the "less-informed."

and you're welcome!
