Does straight pipe hurt your engine?

Straight Pipes Can Damage Your Engine. A street vehicle should not be equipped with a race car-style exhaust system. Straight pipes, for example, can increase exhaust gas velocity. This will reduce engine performance to below 2,000 or 2,500 RPM and make your vehicle slower to launch from a stoplight.

Straight pipes offer better flow than many popular performance mufflers. This can be helpful if you're trying to maximize performance and fuel mileage. However, high quality performance mufflers such as Paradox Performance Mufflers offer flow just as good -and sometimes better- than straight pipes.
