Many people are... Power difference is minimal under 500whp or so.

So i should be ok to do that then. I wanna get the texas speeds with o/r x and run stock ti until i can get stingers. I know the stings wont add anything but i love the sound. Being that both catbacks are only 2.5" i was concerned with power, possible tuning issues, and fitment.

Yep, you'll be fine. Plenty of people are running the stock Ti's on heads/cam cars without issue.

Definitely, but take it to the track and see if it performs well.

Wouldn't be the first time I've seen a "reputable" tuner put out crap.

Also wouldn't be the first out of whack dyno I've seen either lol
