its not bad on the engine but i would think the back pressure from the exhaust would give you a better performance from the engine?

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

nope its not bad but being NA ur gonna be losing some low end torque. And before anyone says backpressure. U r losing power because of losed scavenging which is what the exhaust pipes do. It has nothing to do with backpressure

Sup Homie... Open headers won't do a damn thing too your motor.. You'll gain more low end torque but lose top end.
