If you've ever tried running an engine without an exhaust at all then you have seen what it's like to run it without a negative pressure on the exhaust side, that is why tuned exhaust is so important, the momentum of the exhaust gasses create a vacuum that pull the next pulse out behind it, when you remove the exhaust system then the exhaust is entering in to the open air where their is no vacuum and the engine hardly runs.
