I had my s-pipe unbolted from the header and I had to move the car in my garage (it started raining all of a sudden), I started it up for a few seconds without the s-pipe connected and it was insanely loud.

if anything, you're missing out on torque and added some top end horsepower.

ill quote myself...
The reason people add headers in the first place is so the exhaust can be freeeeee. Let it breath. Back in the day, we used to add a bypass valve that would bypass the exhaust and run open headers when pulled. Push it back in and exhauset would be back in line. The 70's were pretty primitive
