Do you guys wanna add the write up about how backpressure is a myth?
It's no myth.
Quote from Exhaust Science::
"If the pipes are too large a fair chunk of torque can be lost without actually gaining much in the way of top-end power."
Quoted from following 10 year study: Auto Exhaust Science
*-It's been my experience that with V6's, you want to gain as much low-end torque as possible when utilizing such low horsepower, prior to adding a blower. (ie:) -Higher ratio gears, propper exhaust, lower intake spacers to extend runners, dyno tunes, ect....

On low horsepower cars such as ours, it is. Taking out cats gains power, it doesn't lose any. Obviously putting too large of piping on does cause a significant loss of torque. But that's putting 3" piping on our v6s. I haven't seen anything proven that putting on a straight through exhaust system loses torque

thats a good read...proves easily that backpressure doesn't exist but is really exhaust velocity that matters. a bit more in depth then the studies i've already read but still nice.
