Yes but an exhaust will have some back pressure regardless or it won't muffle anything. In addition, turbochargers muffle the exhaust, to the point that the dodge neon srt4 came from the factory without a muffler. If a turbo created so much back pressure as to make a turbo driven generator unfeasible, how is it possible that a smaller turbo engine could be more efficient than a larger engine?
