- I have heard conflicting opinions about lowering the backpressure
- on fuel injected engines. One person told me that it would cause
- the FI to run really lean and eventually burn the valves. Another
- person said that was an old wives tale. He told me that if the
- engine was tuned-up after the system was installed everything would be
- fine (I tend to believe the second guy).
-
- I want to upgrade my exhaust system in stages on my '87 4cyl
- Toyota 4x4 PU, starting with the muffler and a larger diameter
- tailpipe. Eventually I'll replace the header and cat-converter.
-
- Anybody have any thoughts on this? I'd appreciate hearing them.

- Thanks
