I'd been going back and forth about whether or not to do a tune with or without a header on my car. I've read all the threads and watched all the youtube videos. From what I understand, it seems the benefits of a tune and header are most noticeable on pre-2017 cars, and less so on 2017+.

Has anyone with a 2017+ done a tune w/ or w/o a header? Can you really feel the difference? I don't care about shaving tenths of a second off some time, or a performance improvement that can only be measured on a dyno or a stopwatch. To me it would only be worthwhile if I can feel it in the seat of my pants (the only dyno that matters to me).

Thanks!
I have a 2020 BRZ and installed a UEL header and did a stage 2 tune the same day (Ecutek and Delicious Tuning). There is a very noticeable difference. I drove it the first 4,500 miles entirely stock. You feel that "suck-back" much sooner, and the entire powerband feels smoother
