Message	The Howe seems to just be ungodly thick which some people will realize isn't always the best. Sometimes a decent sized single core that wont have to deal with cooling loss in the back can be more efficient. HOWEVER, no one has done hard testing and no one probably ever will on the exact same car. Either way, the Howe and Koyo DO perform better than stock, but how much more I can't say or quantify.
