Re: 10vt header

Eric, you're forgetting that what we have on our cars now are MANIFOLDS 
and not headers.  Also, there's so much compromise involved in designing 
a street legal, emissions legel, etc. car nowadays.  The designers no 
doubt knew EXACTLY what they were doing, but I'm sure max hp and torque 
were not their sole or even major concerns.  They've got fuel mileage, 
emissions, reliability, producibility, etc. to worry about.  This header 
will be designed for improved power/torque period.

If you're talking about this header compared to Audi's, well then the 
cost factor has been mentioned.
