not according to this dyno found in the gallery section of scionlife.
muffler removed entirely
low rpm power looks to be the same

the 'right' backpressure is in almost all cases zero.
the only time backpressure from the exauhst is useful is on cars with agressive non varaible timing cams with lots of overlap.
the scion's engine has zero overlap in low velocity conditions.
