I have the Gibson single Cat-Back with a K&N FIPK on my 97 V6 and have not
had so much as a fart. The exit on the pipe does get a little sooty, but I
clean the inside as well as the outside of the tip at least weekly.

I agree after seeing the other posts. I inquired about the exhaust mods as
too little backpressure has been known to cause backfires. I'm really
puzzled about the backfire thing. I don't get so much as a stumble out of
mine.
