Message	he installed a massive 3.5 straight pipe for racing purposes. Eliminating the cat and muffler. After about 2 months he lost most of his compression. When the head was pulled the exhaust valves were toast and was told by 3 different mechanics that the straight pipe caused too much heat on the exit valves. I'm not an expert mech. just tryin to get some info here :)
