1) quality of the welds 2) design of the merge collector 3) option to have it thermal coated (this was important to me) 4) thicker gauge metal (anecdotal, but if true means more thermal mass and possibly quieter) That said, I think Tomei and OFH are solid options as well.

1. Adjustable seat belt @ C-pillar
2. TRD Intake. The sound-tube is a joke and crowded the engine bay for no reason 3. TRD Strut tower 4. TRD Exhaust 5. Shark fin 6. Don't mind the Prius rims but need better tires. 7. Toyota badges!

Has anyone ever come up with an understandable explanation for this? It just seems odd. I believe it, but it still seems odd.

Its ~220 for the part and a pretty straight forward install. I was quoted about 500 bucks for the part and for dealer install though :p

You can lengthen the shorter primaries to create an EL header, but in so doing, you lose that ideal primary length you had on two of the cylinders. That is just how I interpret his statement, but could be wrong... BTW I think if you extend the primary length enough, you eventually reach another resonance frequency that would generate ideal exhaust flow for that torque dip range. I think that is what Nameless was going for with their EL header, which is why the primary lengths on that header are so long. It's also a 4-2-1 design.

Beginning to think a (or dual) catch cans/breather should have been stock.

The first mods I did that really felt like; "now this should have come this way from the factory"
Axle back for nicer sound Running high octane well above 91 made a huge difference (I mix 100 now to achieve 94+) Drop in and silicone intake tube |
