Default Open Downpipe

I have a open downpipe on my turbo b16a on 9psi and was wondering if it is hurting my performace compared to a 3in back? thanks. but i do have to say i love the sound of it open and the flames....

you will see a boost increase with the exhaust off , but it is much cooler with it on

Im not trying to jack the thread, but what about running open on an n/a car, for some reason i have some people say this is bad for the valves? Does it have any effect on anything except for making it run a little more lean?

ok, step away from a turbo if you think that you need back pressure...
and slap anyone that tells you otherwise...

Turbo setups get faster/more powerful the more you let them breath...
I guess I should get rid of my 4inch DP, not enough back pressure...

and, like it was said.... misinformation is not an opinion...

Thats such a redneck saying..Just like if you dont have back pressure you'll burn up the valves..
