vinhisbored: And this is what I am afraid of...losing power. (which i don't exactly understand how I would lose power...it just seems to me like it would be able to push the unwanted exhaust out easier which frees up power for the engine. I guess I just dont understand back pressure.)
and backfiring...i'll have to research why that happens.

Well, you won't be losing that much power, but I could see a small difference. From what friend's have told me.. Yeah, I don't quite understand it, but it is the back pressure. If you purchased a complete cat-back, and it comes with a resonator, you shouldn't backfire as much as I do. I'm running straight-pipe, keep that in mind. Back-firing isn't really a big problem for regular driving unless you're downshifting though. Lately, I've just been putting it in neutral and braking.. (because I just got new pads).
