Hello all-

As someone who is going to have to at least partially replace his exhaust,
im interested in learning about this stuff, but find it confusing...

I initially thought:  Less obstruction (free flow muffler and wide pipes)
leads to less resistance for the enginge to fight, so always more
efficient/fast/powerful motor, with a lot more noise.

But now im hearing that large pipes, etc can actually hurt low end power?
Is this true?  Why?

What is the best exhaust system (pipe diameter, muffler type, etc) for
street use that will give the most power, while not making a ton of noise?
(I know this is an ambiguous question, but im looking for opinions here)...

Thanks all

Sorry for ambiguous/open ended questions

Noah
