holes in the muffler



My spider needs a new exhaust system. I was reading Click and Clack this weekend
and they were saying holes in the muffler could cause the valves to burn due to not enough
back pressure:

This got me to worrying about free flow exhausts and how extractor exhausts work.
I suppose as long as the closest muffler to the engine is in good shape you are ok-
i.e., you will have sufficient back pressure. --
