does a test pipe or a hollow out cat create back pressure??

 

Depends on the size of the pipe. Test pipe is completle unrestrictive. And bad for the enviornment.

The green house affect, is a matter of opionon

Why would it?

 

The point of hollowing out the cat or using a test pipe is so the air can flow more freely.

I see that as being the opposite of creating backpressure.

Only if the inner diameter of the test pipe is smaller then the inner diameter of the collector.

 

thanks for the responses

 

Okay will this set-up create back pressure for me.

2 inch collector to 2.5 cat converter to 2.5 inch pipes to 2.25 muffler.

Reason Im asking is cause thats what my setup will be.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by bb_one &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

2 inch collector is kind of bottle necking the whole system. If those are inside diameters you should upgrade to a 2.5 inch diameter collector!

 

Okat say I go that route will the 2.25 muffler affect back pressure
