how much power would u expect to lose if your exhaust is blocked,
more than 50% or less than 50% ?
with a standard fto exhaust

All of it if it's completely blocked, a little if theres a little blockage.

ok maybe i should change the question to "how long will your motor last with a blocked exhaust" assuming its very blocked but still letting a little bit through
say 80-90% blocked
also what type of damage are u doing?? ie. burning valves etc

Its a snowball effect with blocked exhausts... the headers will cop the initial brunt, most likely cracking & warping, then onto melted pistons & valves.... big back pressure is bad m'kay!
