The tune is the key to a lot of the power gained, but a good and well designed product allows for a higher potential of power to be achieved.

I would agree that the indication here is that the HKS EL with Perrin OP, Motive front, Perrin cat-back, aFe intake and Drift-Office tune does produce more power than a Borla UEL with unknown cat-less exhaust and intake with a Drift-Office tune.
I forgot his name but there's another guy here with a Borla UEL, header-back exhaust and a different tune making 200.5whp on pump gas. This is why I dislike comparing dyno results but that's usually all we have to go by.

I'll have to refer to the logs on that one, but Subaru has always been a proponent of keeping everything rich, force inducted or not simply because they have to offer a x year x mile warranty. With the FA20 being a high compression motor, I'm sure their tuning strategy isn't any different for that same reason.
My 2 cents on that last...

Thank you very much. It's been a pleasure talking to you.
