Will 3inch exhuast after muffler be different from 2.5inch after muffler?

Hey guys, im bored and was thinking about doing something to my exhaust. I have true dual system dumped before the rear axle, no cats. I was wondering if changing from 2.5 right after the muffler to 3 inch pipes will be any louder. i have flowmaster super 10s. Ive heard its like adding tips to a dumped system sound wise. Just wondering if its worth it. Thanks

"Worth it" in what sense? What are you trying to accomplish?
