never quite said that. i said they arent as bad as you make them out to be. for the reasons you mentioned (cost, time for manufacturing) they cannot be as well-made as aftermarket systems (notice i said well made, not necessarily better).

not at all. its just that if you're bolting-on an exhaust, it needs to be matched with the characteristics of the stock cam. Unfortunately for us, most aftermarket manufacturers (except maybe a handful) still dont tell us what kind of cam the exhaust needs to be used with. It is upto us to find out (with a dyno, or an extremely perceptive driver, or both).
