New Exhaust System Advice

[Rabbit16v@attbi.com (Rabbit16v)]

I believe he meant "rush out of the valves" not rust but this doesn't make
sense.  If the exhaust would come out faster it wouldn't cause over heating.
What it would cause is an improper pressure causing the exhaust to just puff
out without any type of pattern or consistancy.  I had TT system (racing dp
and dynocrap muffler) that didn't have enough back pressure because I'd blow
the muffler out every few weeks.  Once I got a decent muffler the engine
pepped up quite a bit.  I can only say that it must of been because of the
greater amount of back pressure the new muffler created.

Not sure I understand what you are trying to say, Dan.
I do think C & C were misquoted.

  Slightly on a different subject but I read a Click and Clack article where
they said too little backpressure would cause the exhaust to rust out of the
valves too quickly. That could make them hot enough to melt or at least
warp. This true??!!
