manufacturing cost and emission restrictions play a big roll as well. it's just not practical for a manufacturer to use a tubular turbo header.

tubular headers are also use not just because of the better flow characteristics but to allow different turbos, turbo configuration, external waste gates.

the only reason manufacturers use 8.5:1 compression is to get the best performance on the cheapest gas and that makes it near impossible for detonation.

Both the manifolds shown have external wastegates. Also, emissions really isnt a problem there because I have seen many instances that an external wastegate is re-routed back into the exhaust. But yeah, I cant think of any cars came with a tubular mani from the factory.

the header is mocked up and now I'm waiting go tour the factory that is doing the madrel bends for me. once they are done I'll assemble everything and they are out the door.

That looks like a crush bender to me... For the Aveo it won't make much of a difference between Crush and Mandrel, but the Mandrel is much better quality...
