Ford tried that exit in front of the rear wheels trick when they introduced the new style F series five or more years ago. They found out the hard way that the corrosive/damp emissions from the tailpipes corroded the finish on the steel and alloy rear wheels especially in cold climate areas. They replaced countless wheels under warranty before they relocated the tailpipe outlet farther to the rear. I have a hunch that trucks with tailpipes too small would present another problem with noise. Or worse yet that whistle or compressed air sound you hear sometimes with vehicles that have restricted mufflers or crimped tailpipes.

If a combo of all these whizz bangs met their claims you'd have to siphon gas out of your tank every second day and sell the excess horsepower on the third????
If your engine doesn't consume ANY oil it will seize???
Some people should not be allowed access to tools without books!!!
