someone at an exhaust place told me because I have no cat or resonator and its all straight pipe from the shorty headER that I have no back pressure and that it will cause my piston rings to go baD cuz of bad compression...???

Never go back to that place again.

'Backpressure' or restriction in the exhaust is about as related to cylinder compression as tire presure is to seatbelts.
 
so... my seatbelts dont get tighter when my tire pressure goes up?
Oh man I'm sorry I forgot... on YOUR car they do.

Hay I never said I believed him. I just asked. Cuz I just wondered if I was the only one that thought he was talkin outta his ass....I new it the moment he tried to get me to buy a resonator and then a high flow cat...i'm like dude...I've run my car with shorty headers and offroad pipe and 2.5in SS piping all the way back for over a year and the car runs great
