Yep, my truck does the exact same thing. I've got JBA headers
feeding into a 2.5" -> 3" Y pipe, then its 3" all the way out the
back, no cat, through a Gibson 3" muffler. My low end torque seems
like its dropped off a bit, but wind it up to 3,000 and it hits
hard!!! Your motorcycle "powerband" analogy was a good one; my FZR600
did a similar sort of thing, although it was a 4-stroke. It was
really tame under 6,000rpm or so, but wind that puppy out and it
would pull your arms out of their sockets all the way up to about
10,000rpm.
