headgaskets, downpipes, oh my!

["Braden Sayer" <sayerbj@hotmail.com>]

Well, I was planning on doing the 'ol dual out manifold/tt downpipe, etc 
soon, but I am pretty sure that noise I have begun hearing is the manifold 
leaking a bit, so I will be doing this sooner than planned.  I figure I will 
just pull the head, to make removing the old studs etc. easier, as well as 
give me a chance to change my timing belt and headgasket for preventative 
purposes.  Questions:
1) How about a vw motorsports thin gasket?  Does the increase in compression 
cause any problems?  Is the expense (100+)actually worth it?  Will I feel a 
difference in performance?

2) In an effort to save costs, anyone out there have a TT Dual downpipe for 
a cat w/ o2 hole?  Worth a try...

Thanks!

Brad
