To obtain maximum power, the exhaust system length is tuned to bring the fuel charge into the exhaust pipe and then suck it back into the engine before the exhaust ports close (reversion pulse). Modification of the exhaust system usually results in less power and/or unburned fuel blown out the exhaust and wasted.
