btw, faster exhaust velocity is another way to squeeze more torque/hp from an engine. so you dont have to change to a larger diameter pipe unless you did something that increased the air coming in too (like turbo or sc or bigger valves or hi lift/duration cams). the original pipe was already matched (almost) with the amount of air from the original intake. you just want to remove the restriction caused by the original muffler.
hoping this clears something, thank you
