The MS map for this setup was a specific tune for a high compression built motor running race gas. While I still have the MS files, they would be way to aggressive for stock motors or anything other than C16 fuel.

Talk about the header some more. Compare it to the old Jackson Racing header (which is what I have now, as it was the only one that would fit with a hot-side supercharger).
Edit: Wait, this is a header designed for the NA, not NB, right?

It fits either chassis, but it doesn't bolt to either exhaust. You'd have to make your own connector pipe or fabricate the entire exhaust.
It's a Boig road race header designed for GT and E Production cars. It has 1.75" diameter 31" long primaries. Both larger in diameter and length than any off the shelf headers. With a high compression motor with a lot of cam and head work it should theoretically make significant power throughout the rev range over a Jackson or Racing Beat.
I cut up the collector and repurposed it for a 3" exhaust, so it should now make significant power over any off the shelf header on a supercharged application, but may leave power on the table through the midrange on any but the wildest BPs. There may not even be BPs wild enough to really make use of it NA, actually. Having said that, it makes a pretty significant seat-of-the-pants difference with a 3" exhaust compared to a stock manifold and 2" Borla exhaust on a mild BP, but that could be perception.
The coating has about 20k miles on it, and isn't as pretty as it was in the pics any more. I planned on sending it back to Nitroplate, but one thing led to another and it just hasn't happened yet. It's not terrible, it's just not super shiny any more.

I actually have a pretty cool 3" shotgun exit exhaust with titanium mufflers that would be plug and play on an NA. You would have to get hangers added/ modified for an NB, though. And you would have to cut your bumper and the plastic bumper beam either way.
