exhaust---torque ?

How does putting in a high flow exhaust system (cat-back, muffler, cat) affect your torque?

To explain it easy, a freer breating engine makes more power, everywhere.

That's not to say that 2" primary headers are for every engine, but once you get past the collectors, you need as little as resistance as possible to keep the flow up.
