I'd still doubt a 10% power loss for having the N26 - theoretically, if that's the case, you'd see HUGE gains when going to a catless downpipe with appropriate tune.
Would love to see a side-by-side N20 and N26 dyno comparison (same dyno/same day)!

You know much more about this than I do, Matt. I hope you don't think I'm an idiot for getting the Stage 1 tune for the N26 in spite of the more moderate gains.
I know from the way I drive the car, i.e. spiritedly but all road, no track, that I do not spend a lot of time at 5,500 rpm and above.
