It looks like a generic eBay manifold. I can't imagine longevity or amazing quality but I'm sure it would be OK. Probably available on eBay or Aliexpress for very cheap.

I would say no. Their graph is completely wrong and made up so in my eyes if they can’t even put the effort in to at least make a graph look half realistic what’s the mapping going to be like? To get an noticeable benefits I think you would have to go with header and map there’s no other real way to make any decent improvement 

I had a remap from TD with a decat and catback and induction kit, it did make a difference, but nowhere near as much as it did when I went for a manifold as well. Is it worth doing? Yes, I think so if you're defintely not going for a manifold. But I would say get it done properly at somewhere like TD. Getting some half-arsed map isn't going to be worth it. Do it properly or not at all.

First things first, Super chips is a very reputable company, been leaders in the chip tuning business and i know of them since i knew about chip tuning and have used them in the past. If you go to their HQ in Milton Keynes, they will even dyno the car for free alongside the tune.
Secondly for an NA car, unless there are specific restrictions like for a mazda 3, the same car comes in 2 states of tune a 120 BHP and a 165 BHP and the throttle cut off removal really unlocks the extra power. For a turbo car, its a different story and the gains with just a tune are noticeable.For a GT86, there is no such restriction and for the hardware it comes really well tuned. With a superchips tune you will not gain much.
The ECUTEK gives you all fancy features like flat foot shift, launch control etc, which people rarely use in daily driving.
So in summary, for our cars a NA tune without hardware changes (like manifold) is not worth it as the gains will be rarely noticeable.  

You'd probably end up getting an ECUTEK map anyway once you start modifying the car further so it makes sense to just do it now. It's a bit like the springs vs. coilover argument. One is a cheaper option but nearly everyone who goes for the cheaper option ends up getting the more expensive one further down the line.

No warning lights, no significant gains. Will be louder.
