would you not risk a loss of compression?
Or am I getting confuddles with my 2-stroke engines??

I mean the flange that bolts it on to the head?? the 20XE isn't the same.
Back pressure will be lost low down, but will mean there will be less higher up the rev range improving scavenage and hence power, low end power on a 16v is pap anyways, it's not a diesel
