That was a good read and I read similar comments elsewhere, though I can't remember where. Seems like people can reffer to something for the wrong reasons, but still be right.

In other words, I could say, "bigger exhaust pipes result in a loss of trq because it causes the festzer vale to run low on fluids." Wrong reason...correct conclusion.

I spent some time on the phone a while back with an SLP engineer. The ehaust system needs to be properly tuned for the application and designed to work properly with the particular car. Also, you need to consider the driving application. This is one of the reasons why I am no fan of mixinbg and matching exhaust components. You know, BBK X pipe with SLP catback.
