Well, actually, as an example of "zero backpressure being good", its as good an example as any.

They dont need a collector because they get enough velocity without one. With a full system, you have so many other bits and pieces in the way that you need to take whatever advantage you can get. Hence you use tuned headers and high flow cats, straight through mufflers etc to limit any restriction you can.

Astinaboy: not saying yours was a bad choice..was simply pointing out that losing backpressure is good, not bad. For your application it may be perfect.



I havn't posted here to be a smartass, just to put to rest some myths about exhaust etc. At the end of the day the number one factor in chosing a system is going to be cost for most people - however arm yourself with the "secrets" of how its all spose to work, and you'll not be baffled by bs when you go in to get a quote. Alot of exhaust shops are very precious about these secrets and would do anything to stop people knowing about them, else more people would go out and make their own stuff.....
