> I have read by many different sources that larger than needed exhaust pipe can actually hurt performance. Hot gases travel faster than cold gases. An oversized pipe will allow the gases to cool which will slow them down. A correctly sized exhaust will retain the heat inside the pipe which will keep the gas speed up, give you less backpressure and more power.
