Weed Burner Exhaust Question

I'd much rather have it on the passenger side however my exhaust stack is in the way. Ive thought about removing it in favor of the weed burner style exhaust.
The question:
Will switching to a weed burner style affect the motor in a negative way or positive way or neutrally. And how?
Not looking for the "you're gonna piss people off" "i hate weed burners next to me" "they suck" answers, I've already seen those.
Closest answer Neutrally I've gotten from a tech is he didn't think it would much matter after the DPF.
I'm thinking back pressure, turbo spooling items like that which might be impacted.[/size]
Thanks

If the truck is still stock and not de-mandated then i doubt it makes much difference other then loosing the weight of the components. If it is de-mandated, custom tuned, it may have slight impact depending on how its tuned.

Boost and pyro gauges are your friend. If you don't haver those on the truck that would be your first move, so you can compare the before and after.
