I seriously doubt it would have any sound change unless there was a muffler back there that was changed or removed and replaced with something with no/less baffels/chambers.

The angle of the cut is intended to keep the heat and residue off the bumper or 1/4 panel and so that the tail lights don't melt.

FYI: The Monza Pacesetter has dimples in it that cause a "whooshing" sound when you throttle it. Didn't like it.

Yep, what Bob said.
Tips can make a sound difference. Go to your local rice shop and you'll be amazed.
I say go for the whistle tip!
