Enlighten me how backpressure in a rotary is a good thing? Keep in mind I might have owned and built a few RX7's as well.
Yep we all were 19 once you're right....not all of us acted like you do though. And at "33", I'm hardly old...I'm just wise enough to listen to those who might know more than I do

I was just wondering if anybody had some insight on which exhaust I should go with. I'm in between the EVO 2, and the EVOTT by Greddy. I do plan to eventually go twin turbo and know that the EVOTT is absolutely the BEST! However, i'm wondering if it would be alright to slap the EVOTT on for a while until I go turbo? Understand....it's gonna be a while until I get twin turbo money. And besides that, I have an 07 with the HR motor and don't know yet what the price is gonna be for the kit....anyhow.....any insight on the exhaust would be greatly appreciated

Hey look, I didn't mean to spark this lil' debate, but I do appreciate you guys opinions and info. I'm not a cocky dude and don't mind askin' for opinions and advise on somethin' I don't know too much about. Yeah i've got access to the net and google, but that's what this site is for right? Ask questions and then get pointed in the right direction. Anyhow, thanks again, and i'll catch up with you guys

I came here to learn not to be "put in my place" by some middle aged man. Im sorry if your offended easily but im not. My opinion about backpressure isnt based on hp/tq numbers. (Which im guessing is the illusion you were speaking of backpressure giving you better numbers- am i right?) My opinion is based on airflow. Is it not true that air is released quicker when huge backpressure build up has taken place? Im not saying this negatively im asking a question and if you can answer with an explanation. I will have learned something.

At 19 years old, you might also want to relinquish yourself to the notion that you don't in fact know everything, and that with all this time left on the planet, sometimes sitting back, reading, and learning, is the smart thing to do. Believe it or not, some us here have been building, modding, and racing cars since the time you were running around your house in footie pajamas.
Second of all, just 6 posts back from yours, on this same page, someone was kind enough to post up three separate explanations about backpressure. Rather, than show everyone how "witty" you are with your internewb "you fail" tag, perhaps you should actually read those three entries and learn something, The next time you post, you then can show people that you have something intelligent to contribute.

you would learn alot more if you listened...instead of typing insults back to people who could teach you. I've forgotten more about cars than you've learned so far
Your opinion on backpressure, whatever you presume it to be, is flat out wrong. Whether you're a "numbers guy" or not (whatever that means), you can't reinvent physics. It's simply fluid dynamics (which in and of itself is a complex study, but the basic properties are built on pretty simple facts). Backpressure means you have a limitation to flow, like a damn created by a pressure barrier...that is never a good thing for flow, no matter what you are moving (air, water, whatever). However, there does come a point where there is a law of diminishing returns, as with anything else. You never want a pipe so big that it reduces exhaust velocity. This is where most people get confused...exhaust velocity and backpressure are not the same thing. Using the right pipe diameter to flow the cfm of air you are trying to move = good. Backpressure by it's nature limits flow and velocity, which is bad.
