Isn't there an inverse relationship between exhaust backpressure and torque? I always thought that more backpressure (up to a point) increases low end torque. I used to own a car that had exhaust bypass valves. Owners would rig them to stay open all the time to have more sound. The net result was a drop in torque initially.

Curious how that relates to headers and exhaust on the 86.
