NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! That is absolutely, fundamentally incorrect!

Backpressure is an unfortunately byproduct of a modestly sized and/or poorly engineered exhaust system, or sometimes of a grossly oversized header that kills velocity. It is absolutely not something that is designed into a properly built performance exhaust system. There are exceptions, but they are so rare and so specialized that they need not be discussed here.

One more time for those who missed it:
BACKPRESSURE IS NOT YOUR FRIEND.

If one more person declares that backpressure is necessary or beneficial I am going to split my skull and let the *&%ing demons out!
