But when turtles fart, they are subject to increased back pressure too. That's why they move so slow!🤓

An ignition source on said turtle given the proper diet may create thrust,hey does that mean back pressure is really thrust?

Now this whole thing is starting to make a lot more sense. If we just cork the turtle, he'll get more backpressure, and he'll really be able to beat the rabbit.

There is no "perfect" system every car/motor/useage will want something different; most exh changes dont mean diddly like wed hope they would. Doesnt take a rocket scientist to figger that one.
Make it sound the way you want and enjoy....want a real mod dig into the motor

I went from a stock exhaust,
to 69' style sidepipes/ 2" baffle/ Hedman 1 5/8" headers/ 3" collector,
to what I currently have now which is stainless steel Hooker sidepipes with 1 7/8" primary into 4" collector and Hooker Max Flow 2 1/2" open baffles.

The Hooker with the Max Flows look, sound, and perform the best with my stroker engine.
