Yes, retarded is the word, this design was even done before cost-cutting took away the fun. I mean; even a 1992 Corolla 1,3 has proper stock headers

Why they did it? They say it was to save space and weight, the K engine range was a benchmark in both aspects. But sinse when is cast iron lighter than steel tubing? And space; how come you get decent bolt on headers for GE platform cars?
