Is a presilencer neccessary?
Im about to put a header on my 7. Do I need a presilencer to go to the cat back ?(the cats have been long removed and in their place a 3' pipe has been placed). I belive there is a presiclencer in the pipe now.

I have been there..
The exhaust pulses are WAY louder and sharper from the NA rotary with a header than from turbos or pistons.
If you try a straight pipe to the muflers, you WILL have presilencer back on real soon.

Yeah I will be using a single N1 cat-back, does anyone else make a good pre-silencer other than RB, and does RB pre silencers hurt flow?

oh by the way, im using performance mufflers with removable silencers. If I put those in would there be enough backpressure to open those ports?

By the time the exhaust gets to the mufflers, its past the point where a removable silencer will matter as far as opening the ports. I have the racing beat presilencer. If you look in the inlet side, you will be looking directly into a tube that will vent a small amount of exhaust forward to the split air pipe and operate the aux ports. My presilencer came with a block off plate for the ACV, which is no longer needed. Neither was the air pump needed after that. S5 engine will still need that stuff though.
