These companies have invested tons of research and developement hours designing and testing different techniques to improve the flow of spent exhaust fumes. Check some magazines that do buildup cars using dyno's to watch as the horsepower/torque curves climb simply by adding such things as intakes, exhausts, even spark plugs, or coil boosters. Not ALL of the aftermarket is about rumbling 'bumblebee exhausts' and 20" wheels on compact cars, some of it actually DOES improve power, and overall performance!
Sorry for the rant, but I felt it was needed.

Dude, I think you've misinterpreted the posts. We're not saying that an exhaust is all rice, we're saying that the Prelude, out of the factory, already has a very capable exhaust system, and that an aftermarket one would make little to no difference from the factory standard.
Hell, the new exhaust on my Swift GTi yielded and 6kw, which is just a tad under a 10% gain
