10bhp might not seem like a lot but together with 21.6 kg weight loss, improves the power to weight ratio from 259bhp/ton to roughly 271bhp/ton assuming a standard kerb weight of 1385kg. part of the fun of tuning na cars is making small power gains and small changes and seeing/feeling the difference they make in the overall performance and drive of the car.

also 4k euro is for the full system from the factory headers. supersprint is 3200 gbp for the same system if memory serves me correct. so it is pretty much the same price as the ss system, perhaps a few hundred quid more if that.

for any amount of money you will never get an exhaust system that can develop 40bhp from a straight 6.
Is your mate Markus or do you have connections in g power ?

I have to inform you that you are not the only one keeping the CSL for ever and you won't be able to make the best CSL ever, simply because it already exists and it's called CSL loaded.
