Basically, I know this is loud and all but just wondering if this will hurt the car in any way with valves or lack of back pressure issues. BTW this is a question for a friend. He says it won't hurt anything and I tell him that it is hard on the car and he will lose low end torque.
Is running straight pipes and an offroad x considered bad?

the only way you can really hurt a motor exhaust wise is by running open headers at high RPM, or with no headers, thats guaranteeing a burnt valve
hate to break it to you, youre wrong, wont hurt anything, and running an O/R pipe wont really hurt Low end torque, (running no tailpipes will make you lose more), especially on a v8, where torque isnt really a problem. on boosted cars, good exhaust flow is a good thing to have.
Back when my car was stock, i went from catted with Tailpipes, to catted with dumps, to o/r with dumps, i barely noticed a loss of torque with any of those steps.

Thanks for the input. Any other ideas? Also to the guy who made the video with straight pipes and offroad x, did you notice any loss in low end torque?
I saw that vid... super loud!!!
