I believe Nameless makes an OP + FP single piece but not sure if OP had a specific part in mind. That being said I've heard great things about the Nameless piece.

Another +10 max hp and +15tq at the dip with tuning. So suggesting that header+overpipe/front pipe without tune would only net +10hp/tq seems pessimistic. I would think removing that last cat with overpipe/front pipe would realistically free up 5-10hp/tq, but if you're leaving the secondary cat in with stock front pipe, and just replacing the stock overpipe section, then yeah I wouldn't think it would make much impact.

Here are our results.
Pink is baseline, no tune.
Green is +Tomei UEL Header, no tune.
Orange is after tuning.
I was more referring to the overpipe in isolation, i.e. dyno w/header vs w/header + overpipe would not have a +10hp/tq difference, not the entire header + overpipe netting < +10 h[/tq. Appreciate the dyno results, always enjoy seeing some quantitative data
