Thanks in advance for your feedback,
Manuel

BORLA STINGER
HALTECH STINGER
LG UNDERDRIVE CRANK PULLEY

By decreasing back pressure you gain high end horsepower at the cost of low end torque.. hope this helps

Back pressure is never good. The lower you can make it, the better the engine becomes as an air pump, and that means more power, up top, down low, everywhere across the power band.

I use to have a 996 Porsche Carrera 2002 and ran it with mufflers bypass pipes, highflow cats and headers...extremely loud. The car cars top end went down in compared to my friend stock 996 with the stock exhaust set-up. This is my concern.

Thanks,
Manuel
