If so, why?
Edit: The FT86speedfactory catted options seem to tick some boxes, especially if if catless will likely have noise/rasp/inspection issues. Anyone have coating preference "black" vs "tungsten" (or is the difference cosmetic only?). I've watched the "Everyday Driver" linked video (again), which gives results/opinions, with no tune (I like the tone, but maybe a bit quieter...Perrin over their V1?). Would a V4 OFT/OTS tune play nice with my MY 20 with these parts? Had to fill out an email form to request a call back from them, and their catless headers are listed as "backordered". Will report results after someone calls me back.
I just installed the FT86speedfactory header a few weeks ago on my '17 with OFT Stage 2 tune. The difference is amazing, especially in regards to the torque dip. I've not had a dyno, but from driving it feels like the dip is gone. The headers are made to order, hence "backorder". Mine took ~4 weeks to build/coat before they shipped. I also have an Invidia overpipe/front pipe and Perrin exhaust. The combo is not too loud and sounds amazing.
