okay so in your opinion is it a good thing to do...and the power loss is not that significant right?

Yes, you will lose high end horsepower. You will gain about 50% more low end Torque as compared to the high end horsepower lost's figure, however. Don't listen to what anyone else tells you, that's what happens. I know exhaust.. I had a lot of problems with mine. Sorry for beating around the bush, I was at work.. got distracted.
look out everyone! we have an exhaust expert on our hands!

tell me in DETAIL why you know what you do and why your way is right. i gotta hear this.

Yes you will lose low end torque, you dont really LOSE power, you adjust your torque.

I would also like the see some proof in detail from expert Evenexchange. Hope you have some dyno sheets, because your wrong on this one pal.

I dont need proof and wasn't looking for critics.

Why do track cars run open headers? I dont have time for detail, i'll just let you figure that one out by yourself... I'm sure your capable. [sm=closed.gif]

Ok, well I do have experience with the subject, I've had my exhaust all kinds of different ways. YOU WILL LOSE LOW END TORQUE. PERIOD.

I dont really care if your not looking for critics, with your little comment "Dont listen to what everyone else tells you, I know exhaust" I would assume that you would have at least some experience with the topic and be able to prove yourself at least a little bit. Obviously you dont.

I forgot that ALL track cars run open headers. In fact there are quite a few that DONT. Depending on what class the car is in, it might be a rule that you have to run exhaust.

I find it really hard to believe that your an exhaust EXPERT but yet you start a thread asking when to check your coolant, along with the other pointless threads that you have posted.

You don't need backpressure, the velocity is the important thing. I highly doubt you lost or gained anything from removing the muffler(s).
