Well, basically, Ted, no--that's not a lie....the crossover exhaust was designed to restrict exhaust/hence emissions...hence government....take out the crossovers, put in Corsa Track Exhaust, flow-thru cats, and you get a cooler cabin. We also added headers and run Royal Purple oil, which in turn makes for a cooler car overall. So, it's kinda the engineering of the exhaust, to meet emissions standards...very restrictive. high-flow cats make a big difference. ~juli~
