i thought back pressure was determined by your muffler. plus ive seen where people have made more power with open exhaust than closed. The 3in y-pipe has to be better than the flattened stocker

Backpressure is one of those exhaust myths that old timers like to harp on, but don't really understand. Unless you're trying to put a 3" pipe on a 3 cyl geo metro motor, you're only going to improve performance, not loose anything. The stock pipe was choking the hell out of your motor.
