The MY17-20 came with slightly larger primaries vs MY13-16 on the manifold. HKS never updated to the larger 44mm vs 41.7mm? During first gen production. Additionally if hard points are the same the MY17-20 exhaust was slightly different and fit slightly different from the MY13-16. I would wager they are just enlarging a few components like they are for the catback. Apexi and Eeecustom have confirmed fitment of first gen header.
