Should I take off my tail pipes and put turndown?

oh what the heck do I know anyways I've only experimented with over 25 different cars but hey cut them off and find out for yourself anybody who says you can't notice a difference in torque either never drives their car or doesn't drive it any where past half throttle you will notice a loss of torque by cutting off the tailpipes you can look at the way they bend around the rearend and tell there is backpressure there and actually equal length shorties have been shown to increase torque anywhere from 5-8ft lbs on a stock car as well as the h-pipe which will also add torque because of the restrictions of the converters even with aftermarket headers or an h-pipe or both you still have sufficient backpressure for a stock motor as long as you retain the tailpipes when you add modifications to the motor and your making gobs of torque the loss of a little torque isn't noticeable but on a stock motor you will notice i'll put money on it.
