Sorry, I didn't see the previous thread.

I was surprised to see the extent of the multiple supersession on the
exhaust manifold from the one piece to the 2 piece.  Sizable bucks.
700 plus or minus...  I'm curious as to just what cars the two 
piece was installed on at the factory if any.  I didn't get out the
calculator but a quick glance revealed that there didn't appear to
be much margin in the parts to allow anything sizeable in the way
of  Q-List discounts.  It's been a crazy week so far and I haven't
had much of a opportunity to 3degree the techs yet as to what
they may know about it. It certainly appears to be an odd 
contraption from the microfiche illustration, I can't imagine
it does much good for flow, not that it may matter that much on
a turbo anyway. I can't help but wonder if it does some sort 
of expansion / or plenum chamber thing for whatever exhaust 
pressure may build up.
