I'll see if I can find some pics for you. I don't remember if we've ever took any but I'll check.

It's all relative to dollars spent, sir. I agree that having to massage a part to fit can be an inconvenience, but when you look at it in terms of saving $500-800 over the competition it suddenly becomes a much smaller inconvenience. Do not get me wrong. American Racing and Kooks make a FANTASTIC product, works of art really. But not everyone has the budget to spend $1000 on a set of headers and then pay a shop labor / tuning for install. That's where the TSP's fit into the market, and can enable those folks to still have their cake & eat it too while staying within their budget.
And we're talking about an extra 10 minutes of work, tops. I take a small propane torch to heat up the area, put a little crater in that particular primary with a ball peen hammer, and it's done. Header goes in, everybody is happy.
I hold no allegiance to any header manufacturer but we do try to be considerate of our customers budgets and find the best options possible to fit within those means. The TSP headers do that well for the 5th gen cars.
