Huh.
Huh.
It is entirely possible that website is older than you!

Oh probably, I just remembered about this after someone said to me "a muffler delete hurts the engine because you don't have backpressure."
What is that even supposed to mean? Like I understand the possibility of too big of a pipe on too weak of an engine causing a loss of velocity ie, less flow. But I don't think a terrible flowing baffled muffler is ever going to help anything.

That's called a pull my finger exhaust

Saying an engine needs back pressure is like saying constipation is good for humans. It's flow you want.
It works!!!1

Need to get that lowering kit too.
There is no substitute for a genuine 710 cap.

I realized last week I've been on GRM longer than our younger members have been alive...

lol, I haven't heard that one before

I post this everytime I see that comment!
Engines do not want Backpressure!!!
What they do want is flow velocity. If you make your exhaust too large you lose flow velocity at low rpms and it will hurt performance. Putting a 3" exhaust on your 1.6L Honda isn't going to help.
Put a turbo into this equation and it changes all the rules. You want as little back pressure as possible.

You understand correctly.
Someone put a too-large pipe on, noted a power loss, then thought "Oh, the engine needed the backpressure!"
Meanwhile, the too-large pipe lost power because it created backpressure, not reduced it...

Wait...So you're telling me that Bernoulli isn't just a type of pasta?
That is EXACTLY what I am telling you! It's also a high capacity floppy disk that was popular for backups because it is far faster (and more seekable) than tape drives, and thumb drives/CD-ROM were science fiction. Hell, CDs were still in development when the Bernoulli came out.
(I remember when the 230MB Bernoulli came out. It was a real HSQ moment)
In reply to NGTD:
Pipe sizing and velocity are still relevant pre turbo, correct? I have always understood that you wantax velocity pre turbo and a huge dump after.
You'll need to log in to post.
