I agree, part for part any reputable aftermarket part (ie no eBay mods or made in Taiwan products) will be more expensive than it's counterpart and csl is still technically oem. And not to mention these guys are looking to make a profit from after the car sale is made whereas most oem products are not unless it's a wear n tear item (so there's a natural markup on these brands).

BMW has better quality, the process used to make the CSL headers is way more expensive as well, the collectors are superior from all angles, CSL headers are even better then AA headers for sure, I had opportunity of check the quality of each one and I can stand behind of my opinion, I don't see any real reason to have a higher markup price besides of to make more profit, in fact between AA, CSL, EURO and SS, SS has the lowest quality and similar design overall.
1- CSL 2- AA (only because of the design and not because the manufactory process) 3- Euro (because manufactory process) 4- SS ( similar design to euro headers, low quality manufactory process) I did not see the stepped version of the SS so I can't talk about that one. |

Wasn't that a British show first? I heard the NA version sucked?

You should get the DVDs from the real version - I hear it's far better; could just be European Elitism however...?

interesting about the header comparison.. and Carell's Office is fantastic. Not better or worse than the original, but different.

I think it depends on which ones you watch first; I'm sure there will be kids in the future that will find the british top gear odd and unappealing because they're weened on TG USA.
