I also don't see how this mod helps, and it seems it could hurt, for the reasons euromodder noted. But can an aft exhaust really fill wake significantly? Seems plausible, I guess. How effective?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
