But hey, lets have everybody re-pipe for 2.5 and then lests do some eco driving at 15-1800rpms at 55mph on a 30%load.

I find it interesting that 'certain items' always fall on the hp side and 'other items fall on the fe side.
Exhaust is always about "factory sysytem is restricitve". Maybe for hp, but not for FE
Just look at the exhaust on the factory fe civics or any other fe car.
Ther factory is trying to get the very max fe possible......and they design a crappy exhaust???? I really don't think so. exhaust pipe is cheap. doing it correctly for max fe is not an additional cost.

And there have been plenty of threads debunking the 'more hp means more effeceincy'
