Nope.  Backpressure shmackpressure.  Whatever is causing the misfire, your exhaust has nothing to do with it.

carb, vacuum lines, or vacuum leak would be my guess.
download the factory service manual, or look for a diagram on the bottom side of the hood for a vacuum hose diagram that will show you where the hoses go.
