One of the advantages of the Renesis is the very non-critical nature of the exhaust system due to zero overlap.  Just keep the backpressure down to reasonable level and it's as good as it gets.   The people with the most experience were able to get only 4 HP increase going from stock car manifold to best possible tuned headers (but keeping the rest of system).   Only 8 HP increase going to full race exhaust.
 
Of course you can look at this in two ways.

How much effect does the siamesed port have on exhaust tuning? Since a
significant % of the exhaust is getting mixed at the port, it would seem
to kill the tuning.
