Yes it will stop the backfiring if you had any, it will also leave 4 holes in the exhaust side of the block. You can use 4 old spark plugs to fill the holes so I have been told, i got real bolts.

yeah the only thing those things do is probably make ya engine run shitter. If u do take it off, i recomend gettin the holes welded, including the ones that hold the pump in place. So it looks like it was neva there. Due to it being illegal not running it. But if it looks like it wasn't supose to be there, then the cops wont know shit.
cheers.
