I've read that some tunes for 13-16 cars may not play nice with the significantly different programming in the newer cars, yet companies like OFT don't have tunes speced for the '17s. Is there a catted solution that widens the powerband and won't throw a code? Is it less than $2K? If we're talking $2K+ for a header (possibly coated to offset heat sink) and tune, I'd like to hear what the gen 2 offers before dumping that much MORE cash into the car. I do have much to learn about power modding this platform, but spending close to 10% of the value of the car to shift power around may not make my personal value threshold. My car has a Nameless axleback, so if I went catless header, I understand it would be louder, which I don't want. I was looking at putting the stock muffler back on in that case.

Are you looking for a catted header for noise reasons or emissions reasons? I don't think Houston is that strict. If you want a catted UEL header, I'd recommend the FT86SpeedFactory. You can get it coated for just over $1k and will work just fine with the OFT. Personally, if you want to squeeze the most out of NA, I'd recommend the ACE CS400 plus ECUTek tune by CSG. It's the perfect combo for daily driving.
