Well then why not save all that dough and simply cut a hole in the floor and run an open pipe up to your ear?

A reduction in back pressure will improve your mileage slightly. It may not be measurable however.

Trashmasters suck.

If youre gonna do exhaust, go magnaflow or dynomax.

For absolute least restriction I would recommend a Cherry Bomb. The fact that they are so cheap means you will get a quicker return on investment.
