No Backpressure in Exhaust systems is good,
In doing some googling , I found some information on this subject .
They say that you want no backpressure as this will effect engine power .
There are certain mufflers that can reduce backpressure.
No muffler will completely reduce backpressure .
Look at the exhaust system on the Nascar race cars , they have crossover pipes that come down to huge tail pipes and zero mufflers and no backpressure which is what they want .
