different width piping, yes, i did say that reducing restriction was the number one goal, whether better bends, pipe diameters, smoother merges.. it's all in the same goal, getting the exhaust gas out of there literally as fast as possible.. i did say a lot more than 'smoothing bends and increasing diameter' under the blanket term of 'increasing flow'
i believe that supersprint is very good quality, but in no way could they justify the price of $8000 for the full system in my opinion.
though really, give it another week and we'll see how the MMW headers perform on their own, and likely in combinations with various cat-back systems.. there's what.. 20 that got sold and shipped out this week?

I have no doubt the MMWs will make power. Hell, on the e60 M5, the aftermarket will take the stock headers, cut the cats out and replace them with straight pipe, and resell them... and they gain 30+ hp. The stock 128 headers look to be far worse of a design than the e60 M5, and they still have the cats to get rid of. I just think that the SS headers will make
more power. Which makes sense, as they have a far more advanced research, development, and testing program than, well, pretty much anyone else in the aftermarket.
