People have posted that you can call them today to order it now but they have not posted it on their website due to limited availability.

Exactly. Isn't any gain more so due to a smoother design rather than length and whatnot?

the only thing you can do outside a sophisticated design that would be very expensive--is to try and get the gasses out as easily as possible--the engines exhaust port is where some work needs to be done(but only a very little can be done) and after that just copy speedsources design, the factory header really isnt that bad.
SO you are exactly right--less restriction.

I seem to recall Jeff remarking how easy it was to work on my car. Everything comes off like butter. I guess it helps that everything has been ripped off and replaced a half dozen times
