no back pressure is great....its not enough exhaust velocity. ie...if u were to take a paper towel roll and blow into it and take a 3" pipe a blow just as hard into it....which one is moving faster..the faster the air moves through the better the gas get scavenged....but then u get to a point that it begins to back up cause its too small...so u have to find that happy median where the gasses flow fast but dont begin to back up high in the rpms.

you have to have a little back pressure. if you dont have any that is bad. you want to have a little. its harder on your motor if you dont have any.

I had the now defunct SMA 3" system and did not notice any low end power loss. The theing pulled really good in the high rpms though

I dont think it is too big. It may not be optimal, but if you have all the bends already, I say go for it.

Having had the same exhaust, I agree. Even on the SE 2.5L. The SC really liked it too, but it was to loud... otherwise I would have had it on at SZ02 when she... she... *snif* I can't say it...
