Look I dont know if its dodgy, but I know I've seen bigger discrepancies on the original 86. Mine stock was 150hp (on hub dyno, so should report higher). If you averaged out all the 'reported' dynos on here I have no doubt it would be more than 10% down. People do not like posting low number, and dyno people love fabricating high ones.
Getting 10% increase from a non tuned header is huge, no doubt. But according to tuner I've seen they were getting pretty much that on the old car with an exhaust (headers) - adding around 10kw to baselines of between 105-110kw. That's not far off.
So what is dodgy, what do you trust?
For reference, here is the tuner talking about the stock 86, the stock and bolt ons without a tune, and also the a dyno from a 2022 BRZ.

It's the combination of abnormally low baseline, high delta, and the graph for the new header looking almost exactly like the stock graph but just cranked up.
........then there is the whole deleting youtube comments thing.
