- 1) Sounds like a dictionary definition of compromise to me.
2) The thought of this compromise doesn't seem to bother anyone. Why should the OE Honda exhaust bother them? False perceptions? Misinformation? Hype? Social cueing? Or is it simply a case of willful ignorance???
3) 40+ PSI of backpressure in the exhaust system doesn't seem to have much effect on turbo performance. In light of this fact, why do you suppose ppl insist on fooling themselves, and their friends, into thinking this is a key issue???
