what do you mean optimal back pressure is 0?!?!? Dont you watch nascar? Drag racing?? all those guys are running full length 2 1/4"exhaust systems with at least 2 mufflers and cats..... right....
all the high horsepower people who know what they are doing building fast n/a and f/i cars must be retarded, cuz they dont got big, restrictive exhausts to provide the ever so important backpressure.

You guys sure are smarter than me. I wish I knew anything about exhaust or backpressure, or what it does.

lol, you are enititled to your own opinion, but I understand why you think your car feels like crap when you open up the cutouts, You lose low end torque, but I would say that you are picking up more horsepower on the top end. Hey we are all one happy family here![sm=icon_cheers.gif]

It does feel like a lost some tourque down low, but it also feels like I gained a bit of power up top!!?? And the popping is during hard acceleration!!

There's going to be some dyno days coming up, and I'll get up there with and without the cutouts, and we will settle this for real!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I do see what you are saying.
