Refer to the article on backpressure, it's got a ton of good info in it regarding the whole "backpressure myth". Basically velocity plays a huge part in things and variable rpms make a huge difference in output of the velocity.

Backpressure.

yeah with those 2 1/2 inch pipes, you can kiss your low range goodbye. but it makes up for it in the high rpm range. get some headers and smooth everything out with an intake.
