Those pipes look crazy enough to be a reason to do it. But in all actuality, Other than going maximum RPM at full speed, pipes like that will actually take away direct torque, there is a percentage of back pressure needed to make higher amounts of torque increasing acceleration from a stop or slower speeds. So for trucks/off road vehicles and such should always have some back pressure. In fact there is a race team down here I often get help from, They race only Mopars and that is the only reason why I know them. Even on there drag racers they putt slight cups at the tips to give a little bit of back pressure and have noticed better 1/4 mile time. But your method must intimidate the rest so go for it I have also confirmed this with a custom exhaust shop around here. A similar comparison (But Different) is why Dual Plane Intakes give more torque than single plane intakes and also would be recommended for a heavier vehicle.

BTW What kind of Axles are you running with what Gear Ratio? That thing looks like it takes amazing punishment very well!

I know I sound like an ass hole, I cant get around that I was born one. But I am the nicest one you will ever know. Wish my RC could take that kinda punishment. I got mine air born and the damn C Clip in the rear broke. (I drove home) not even knowing it, 20 miles. noticed my wheel was sticking out about 4", I gave up. do you have any recommendations for reinforcing anything?

NO man you didnt, I was worried I DID, and I better stay away from that kind of punishment if your frames are cracking. damn man, thanks And hey Im actually most likely the most ignorant one on the board when it comes to knowing tech things. I am often asking basic questions.
