other then massive back pressure lose, which is a problem for turbos, I can think of any. Although I thought even turbo cars needed some back presure.

lol, ops... and hell no turbo cars dont want backpressure....u want that exhuast to get away from that thing quick.

but another CON would be...it turns your engine bay BLACK. another...the inside of your car smells like pure gas/burnt gas so that means no chicks gonna ride with you..lol
