i believe you might lose torque because of less backpressure, plus things will smell like gas sometimes

Not if you have an Apexi Worldsport. I didnt notice any difference in sound w/ my testpipe.

if you want more flow, get a highflow cat at least (2 1/2" cat pipes). if you get caught w/o cat=big fines.

it won't GIVE you more hp, but it can free some up. Keep the grass green and keep it on. I poop on those that are bad to the environment

it will raise your torque curve, you will have more but in a higher RPM
