agreed - that is an unfortunate downside to the space limitations under the hood of the M Coupe. actually, most turbo M Coupes are bottom mount turbos, which allow for a manifold that is better in deisng with respect to flow rates and characteristics. but Brian wanted to be one of the rare M Coupes with a top mount turbo setup. luckily, given his power goals (~500whp on 93 octane and 600+whp on 100 octane & meth), the efficiency, or lack thereof, of the exhaust manifold should not be a limitation or a problem in any way.
