RE: will straight pips blow my motor

stock exhaust aside from a resonator, 2 months or so now no problems. Though I think the cat has gone to hell
Edit: Why would this cause any damage whatsoever? I've never heard of straight through exhaust harming anything. My grandpa's 87 chevy has been running straight headers since I was 3 years old. 97 stroker camero straight duals 2 years no problems 502 powered tacoma 2" primaries to 6" collectors 3 years now I beleive no problems. 95 t/a headers to pipe no problems 99 mustang gt headers to resonators no problems. What would cause engine trouble/damage and why havn't I ever heard/seen this before.

RE: will straight pips blow my motor
Most of the motors have had things done to them. Aside from my grandpas truck which is an unknown. I beleive it to have mild headwork done to it but he bought it like that and hasn't really done much but change the oil. My 4.3 has just an intake and the exhaust on it. Though I still have the stock cat which is (if I am correct) the main source for back pressure and shouldn't be a big issue if you still retain SOME back pressure. What kind of mech. failures are we talking here?
