So at this point you saw more gain using the 3" midpipe and the Aluminum 2.5" midpipe I'm assuming is mainly for weight savings?
Just to clarify: Yes aluminum is entirely weight savings. The system that we saw midrange gains of 4-6hp in was the full dual system, and we are going to try out a 3" midpipe into standard axleback to see if that picks up the same midrange gains or how it behaves...And those gains were WITH a 2.5" downpipe, btw.

We're going to try that, but a) not sure if it'll add any power over the 2.5" version and b) not sure how much of the downpipe/overpipe combo will actually be 3" depending on how much space we have to bring the pipe over the subframe.

Nameless one piece over/downpipe with Helmholtz FS....I guess.
I'm interested! Shoot me a pm if you're serious.

We'll wait and see what they're doing with all these exhausts.

Great, thanks Jason. I'll wait for a bit and see if it is even possible/adds more power over the current OP/DP.

Being patient is so hard when you guys have such good products, but I like to let you guys have time and test things out before rushing into it. I'm definitely sold on this system though. Have a good weekend.

I'm still hoping for a 3" downpipe, and a tapered 3"->2.5" midpipe for a 2.5" axleback. After i get funds for turbo, and ideally a bellmouth ~3" dump pipe to downpipe

If we put a 3" muffler back further, it hinders the ability to get the two pipes around the diff on both sides, iirc. As for a 3" midpipe that mates to the standard or 3" inlet axleback, we do have the real estate in that design to put a 4x3 resonator in the rear section before the midpipe jogs around the driver (or in your case passenger) side of the differential. Drop me an email at sales@namelessperformance.com to discuss your helmholtz kit query at further length.

Perhaps the power gain and quieter note comes from stepping up to the 3" internal diameter? If that's the case it could work with a 2.5" midpipe to the 2.5" axleback with a decent length 4x3 muffler/resonator fitted in the middle.
Please! That's what i'm hoping you can come up with to suit our OEM fitting parts.

Their catted EL header may be CA legal, but knowing how strict emissions are there, probably not still even with two cats, lol.

IF Nameless is as considerate as a Care Bear then they might try to get it CARB approved but I doubt it :/

Possibly not even; the federal emissions regulations require that any emissions equipment replacement happens for a documented reason AND is replaced with a similar unit. A high flow cat is not considered "similar" equipment I don't believe.

Original equipment has been ruining my gas mileage and my vehicle's drive-ability so I replaced it with this, it looks the same just no heat shields. lol
