I agree.
I think if the engineers who designed this car weren't constrained by regulations the exhaust manifold would look like the HKS catless header and the tune would look a lot different. If a header and tune can eliminate the torque dip and gain 30 rwhp that would equate to about at least 240 advertised crank HP.
On the other hand even Randy Pobsts latest comments about the car were "needs a turbo. But I' m no Randy Pobsts and don't track.
Right now with EcuTek it's about 2 grand for a good header+tune which is just too much so many just throw another $4 grand at the problem and turbo.
But as open tuning becomes available and warranties run out I think a lot of people are going to find their sweetspot for this car with a catless header + tune.
