No engine made likes back pressure. Your gain in torque was possibly from increased exhaust velocity. This is why some engines will run better overall with a 2-1/5 inch pipe over a 3 inch pipe. There is more exhaust velocity a lower rpm/smaller engine will get more flow from a small pipe over a 3" pipe!

Apply this to cyl heads as well on the intake port runners
