definately wouldnt do that to my engine, but it sounds sick with open headers

sorry if repost
THey've pulled it for either: Being inappropriate or just plain sucking? What gives? I'm intrigued now! In a sick twisted way I have all sorts of strange configurations running through my mind and I'll never know which one was right unless someone else hosts this vid...

*sigh*

their "excuse" is that the air back there is 'denser' so the turbine is always spooling.. i think is bs but what the heck.....

It's a fairly good sized turbo with small tubing... take a piece of tubing that is 3" X 2' and take a piece that is 1.5" by 4 feet and they will pressurize the same... I saw it on TV so it must be true...

That's an interesting thought -- logically, the gases should be 'cooler' at the end of an exhaust pipe. Cooler gas would be denser, but would it make much difference?
