banana is to let the exhaust gas escape faster.... coz turbocharged engine will dispose lots of exhaust (coz intake also alot mah)..... normal 4-2-1 or 4-1 headers cannot handle such amount of gas.... so, banana is the way to go...

NA cars with banana headers..... possible... last time hypertune reviewed a kelisa NA with banana headers.... performance difference i dunno la...

Tuned Length Manifolds (Your banana manifold) can improve top end power and also reduce turbo lag. However, if improperly fabricated without using the correct lengths and diameters, it may result in more lag and loss of power.

What you see pictured here is a spare tire cover. Yup, one of those things you see covering the spare wheel at the back of Perodua Kembara's, Toyota Rav 4's and even the Mafia's choice Mercedes 'Geländewagen', except that this is one very special tire cover.

It might not be the Faberge egg or a Van Gogh, but this particular cover just so happens to be the most expensive tire cover in the world. Why...
