Not exhaust stacks, AFAIK. Turbo …

The firewall hole is just one example.

I am planning to add an air fuel gauge and a vac gauge to my '99 HX. With this setup, I will not need to add a second wideband 02 sensor. I was going to drill a hole in the exhaust manifold and add a new bung. Not any more. This will save a bunch of time, effort, and expense.

How many hackers would go to the trouble to attack something as obscure as a performance brand-specific OBDII dongle? Where's the reward?

The illuminated gauges with data-driven color changes are cool, but using a Wi-fi dongle to save through-the-firewall holes is pointless when the port is already inside the firewall. And it adds attack surface for hackers. What track record does Autometer have with IT security?
