Re:no downpipe
Im pretty sure you need atleast a little bit of back pressure.
I can notice a huge diference when im running just my downpipe(greddy) or my downpipe w/ my straight pipe.
Might not be true, but it feels like its quicker at lower speeds, and slower at higher speeds with just the downpipe. I have no idea whether thats true or not.

Re:no downpipe
I don't think that extra foot of pipe after the turbo is going to rob them any power. I'm sure it's just to kep the exhaust/heat out of the engine compartment. Just think about what would happen under your hood at 7000 rpm with no downpipe. Now imagine a backfire or something.

Re:no downpipe
lets say i install my setup in my garage and want to take it somewhere else to have a downpipe made.
i shouldn't have any problem getting from my house to another garage w/o a downpipe, right?
should i just take it easy and try to keep low rpms?
