Would you say that a dyno tune is mandatory for this header, or can you recommend any Subaru experienced e-tuners who would work with the OFT or BRZZedit?

Durability : construction seems solid compared to the others I've seen . I can say contrary to forum reviews, both Borlas I've tuned were fine and without issue, while both RevWorks headers on different cars had issues. One had a cracked weld after install and heat cycling while the other had a leak elsewhere. Both HKS ELs had zero issues, but I suppose you could take that for what it's worth. Then again, for that kind of coin, it better be
flawless.
Ultimately, the verdict is still out since most of the products out there aren't haven't even passed a year of usage yet...
And yes, a dyno tune (not E-Tune) will be needed to realize the actual gains. You can't make cam adjustments and know if it makes power with an E-Tune. For peeps without tuners in their vicinity though, that's going to be the only option I suppose.
Tuning options : of all the options out there, ECUTek while had initial issues, is still the most developed out there. At this point in time, OFT and BRZEdit are still relatively new...
