It absolutly does perform better but at what cost?
It absolutly does perform better but there is a cost of the added noise. On my race car there are no noise restrictions and most run open headers. On my car I ran some VERY large mufflers which quietened it down a lot with only minimal performance loss.
More air in and out with less restrictions at the right fuel ratio will perform better every time in every way every time.
Now if it is not jetted right for the better air flow it could hurt performance and mileage and it would be as you say just the monkey making the most noise. That is not good for anything or anyone.
I do not want everyone to run open headers or loud pipes I am just stating the fact it can help performance and mileage. Also that I do not want more laws or restrictions. I agree with the AMA stance to pressure the dealers and public to keep them quiet with out making new laws.
