^^^^ True, people like updates though lol even when it's not an update.


They did mention something about moving and or expanding so I'm guessing that took priority. I can't bitch too much since I don't have 2k in car part money laying around right now.

Do they at least make a turbo kit? I honestly don't know. I just hear about their exhausts which literally isn't rocket science.

Amazing shops in my mind would be more along the lines of TRP, AMS, Crawford, Vermont Sportcar,...something along those lines. There are lots of accomplished shops. Nameless makes nice stuff but they haven't produced anything that really sticks out yet. Maybe this header will be the thing?

They make turbo kits. They are developing AOS's, they have built engines, etc....

Just because its not on the page doesn't mean they only sell exhaust parts. I agree they are nothing out of this world, but Quality and engineering development is right there on the top of the list.

Oh yeah? Why aren't you running one of their turbo kits? The monroe muffler down the street from me has built engines. There are a handful of AOS's out there already. Is their AOS going to be MAGICAL? It's like talking to mac people in here.

Dude.. Calm down. I don't think anyone here is being a total fanboy for Nameless or anything. They're just stating that they make quality parts that are worth considering if you're in the market for something they make.

Just because a company makes a turbo kit and you like that kit or company doesn't mean you're automatically going to buy it. I like the Vortech SC for my own reasons, but I won't buy it right now because it's further down the road in my plans. As far as the AOS, it may not be MAGICAL, but it may be a good option and they may make it at a competitive price point.

In regards to this thread getting overhyped or whatever, I imagine it's because their original dynos have put up some impressive numbers. I subscribed for that reason. I'm not considering this my only option, but it is an option. If you're this worked up over people in this thread, why not go browse other threads or something?

Yeah I'm just going to point at the quadruple face palm pic. I'm allowed to express myself after that. Maybe not since this is nameless, a paying vendor with dookie that twinkles apparently and a mod that's mildly insulting me. Don't want to end up like Gem. I just got tired of waiting for the header man and the fanboyism here IS getting thick. I'll stay outta here.

Sometimes it doesn't have to be the absolute best thing out there, not everyone is willing to pay $1200-1800 for just an axle back and so on.

They make good stuff from what I've seen, they were at BNW last year and I saw some of their work.
Headers seem to make great power on pump gas which is why I'm following it.

I am impatient but hey I have another 6-12 months before I can buy anything more kids n dogs and fences etc.

I haven't seen another header in development or on sale with a direct stock car vs full exhaust with their header and a tune ( on pump gas) I don't care about e-85 since it makes 15hp alone and I can't get it anyway.

I try to stay out of other vendor threads, but all you have to do is ask. I have every dyno I've ever done of my car, and I can overlay it however you would like. Check my thread and I'll have my stock baseline vs full exhaust and 93 tune in a bit.

First of all, who said I need to run all of their parts? What do you know if I bought parts temporarily until they are done with their parts? Lots of assumptions being made. Second, who said their turbo kit is for the 86 platform? Who are you to say they don't plan on developing a turbo kit for our cars? Third of all, I mentioned examples, that does not mean it's all they make. They have more stuff in development for our platform. Again, you not knowing does not mean it doesn't exists. I still don't get the fanboyism comment. Like I said, they are nothing out of this world, but every single part they make is awesome quality and engineering, that's it.

Oh and their AOS is not going to be magical but just like everyone of their parts, it will be quality parts and engineering. Not just a tank thrown out there to make money.

Wow, if you feel insulted by a funny meme pic, I don't know what to tell you. This isn't he Internet and nothing is personal at all. I would have laughed if someone pointed that meme at me.

Seriously... I haven't seen one vendor thread that hasn't turned into bickering.

@industrial cool it I'm sure they are busy. Nameless is a small shop, and I doubt they have the resources to manage this forum. If your basing your decisions on who's going to handhold you through the process, go buy somebody else. The rest of us are waiting patiently for more information.

Just look at the Borla headers and how much trouble those have been costing customers. I'm happy to wait a little longer for a more thought out & quality controlled product.

Not to mention, many others have said if you give them a call over the phone the support reps are usually very friendly and can give some more information on these kits. If you care enough why not try that?
