Good thread man, very thorough, and straightforward. As for my opinion on backpressure, I believe its bad, my logic tells me that backpressure is a great way to put extra stress on the engine, and in my opinion can lower engine life drastically, because the exhaust cannot escape quickly enough.

I am yet to see anything showing that Back Pressure lowers engine life... The only time I can see Back Pressure hurting the engine is if the exhaust was plugged and it couldnt escape..

Back Pressure in some areas of the world is regulated by the government.. In some cases, low back pressure means a very loud exhaust note.. There are a few cities around here that regulate the maximum decibles that a vehicle, whether it is a car/truck/motorcycle/etc can legally make..

The technology to enforce this kind of thing is usually very expensive and the technology's accuracy vary's depending on other conditions such as the weather and the distance that the monitoring device is from the possible offender.. This is the same technology that is used during stereo sound competitions but with more variables for the results to be accurate. Later
