personally agree.

at the dragstrip, my cousin said running straight piping (minus muffler), and straight headers felt like it wasnt as strong as running a full pipe. there was lots of backfire with the straight headers.

A properly designed header, with a good collector and straight pipe will make great power. Back pressure is not what makes power in a exhaust system.

From what I understand on the subject of exhaust systems. Back Pressure is always bad. For NA setups theres a scavenging effect for each pulse of exhaust gas and because of the velocity of the pulsed gas there is a slight vacuum behind each pulse and this is what helps the next pulse of exhaust gas to exit your exhaust system faster.

A really good write up on my friends DSM forum. It's a good read.

LOL that's almost the same way I ended up with my straight pipe. I backed across my street into the curb, mind you my megan exhaust sticks out. It cracked rigth infront of my cat. So I went to a local muffler shop bought some 2.25" pipe to go with the cat-back, took the cat out and welded it up. I noticed a difference in feel. Less low end power(tq) and more high end power(hp). Also have eBay header on it too. So it's up to yourself do you wanna sacrafice low end tq for a few more high end hp's. For daily driving in say a city it will feel a little more slugish but when you wind out the gears you can feel the powerband more.

you only gain like 1hp over a catback system. that retains the cat. converter. Our Cats flow pretty well.

[bcjammerx]

back pressure is not an issue, unless you are running with no header you are fine. Search and you will find.

It will sound like crap, and there is no benefit.

mine is straight piped and is loud but sounds ok. im looking to get a kicker exhaust setup tho to quiet it down.

[H22A91CB7]

im goin to use the exhaust from a 98 accord with dual mufflers from the rear wheel back and try to make it fit onto the cb7 exhaust...
