Our goal was to creat a forced induction kit offering that doesn't require any custom tuning or additional fiddling. And using the parts that we recommend allows for just this.

Substitute components can complicate matters a bit. But in the case of using another header, I think the issues are minimal.
Makes sense.

Wondering how screwed I am if I want to buy the OFT and Vortec SC but already have my own header and exhaust (JDL UEL header, JDL overpipe with no cat + HKS mid pipe with one cat + HKS Hi Power exhaust).

Totally custom tune needed? How easy to work something out with an OFT tune?

Trying to look for an easy, reliable 'system' as close as possible to being 'plug & play' and foolproof but the lack of one cat is really doing me in when it comes to most 'package' kits.
