“I honestly don’t get why people are so in love with this movie.”

I could see a reboot happening with a Chevy Impala.

“Why Is This Brand New Ford F-450 Shooting Flames Out Of Its Tailpipe?”

... do these valves help at all with lower rpms (where some extra level of backpressure or whatnot is useful)?

Nonononono when you hear: “...treated to a dose of POR15 to “prevent any future corrosion.” It’s like undressing and hearing “Don’t worry about the scabs, the meds have cleared that infection right up!” Those drawers get pulled up really fast.
