You sound EXACTLY - like word for word - like everyone used to on the 8thcivic forums. "We need backpressure or we'll lose power down low". That was the mantra for at least 2-3 years. Everyone chanted it. One day a 3" comes out, proves every single person wrong.

Maybe you are right, maybe your'e wrong. Someone should actually test it before saying that, though, because everyone used to be like you until it was proven wrong.
