backpressure on the exhaust of a turbo'd car helps torque?

Less backpressure = quicker spool = more torque.

They shouldn't, we don't have smog testing where I live, but slip them a Washington just to be safe.

i think the kids that change your oil have better things to do. i would be more worried about them actually changing you oil and filter than whether or not they are gonna notice/report your catless exhaust.

I felt the same way when I installed my Buschar TBE. Then I raced my buddies stock SRT-4 and completely destroyed him.

Plus all my friends say they can tell from the outside of the car that i'm pulling harder. So dont worry to much about it.
