Ok I've heard different things about backpressure on an engine. But I always thought it was bad to have backpressure.
If I have my cats removed, will it "destroy my valves?"

RE: Backpressure
Ok For anyone who want to know back pressure is bad! The minimum back pressure is almost always optimal, BUT to achieve minimal back pressure can mean using a smaller pipe because of the scavenging effect, which actually helps to further reduce back pressure. You have to find a happy balance
*edit: and you wont cook your valves going catless.

RE: Backpressure
MM&FF did a test on this. No backpressure at all made the least amount of power. All of the mufflers they tried were within 1 hp of each other but the car lost like 3 hp from stock with no mufflers at all. 1 or 3 hp, who cares, I think everyone just needs to put what they think sounds the best on there cars.
