My tech/friend thought it was in my head, and he said drive it uncorked, we'll we did. Huge differrence. He measured the backpressure with a guage through one the of O2 sensor holes and it came up with 7, he said anything above (?) was too much and we're like double that.

What type of crosspipe recomendation?
We were told a need of some backpressure is required, so we went 2.5.

Runs good now, uncorked, but i cant leave it like that....or can i (hehehe)? JK

So suggestions for a kickass exhaust?
2.5 should be adequate. If your getting 7 i'd say pull the racoons out of your pipes. OR replace your mufflers.
