Moving it to the front won't make the piping much simpler. IC piping would obviously be a bit shorter, but then the downpipe needs to snake through a bunch of cam pickup sensors. Probably not the best idea at the expense of 2 additional bends of aluminum. The exhaust manifold would add a significant expense to the price. IC aluminum price change maybe $100.

Now when we need to throw some giant turbo on it, we will have exhaust manifolds and will need the additional space.

All to avoid creating an exhaust manifold?
