some aftermarket exhausts, like the tanabe SRM is a little long, and has a non-welded flange, so you can line it up if need be... but anything with a welded flange for the EK hatch will NOT work.
oh, but you are def right about the 8-15 hp, its not gonna happen.
even if you were to use a test pipe and aftermarket header?
