Releasing back pressure may help with gas, but if you have a heavy foot... Kinda defeats the purpose, most people dont understand that and are probably the ones who are complaining. Its only natural to get a heavier foot when you hear your exhaust. If there are any power gains, even MORE reason for heavy foot.
