You probably need to adjust your setup or let Nameless know if that is the case. My 3" DP has plenty of room.

I did... I think it's the headers. I loosened all the bolts and tried to re-adjust it. Then brought it to a local shop. Same results. Thanks though!

Installed mine today. Was waiting to do some baseline pulls so that I could compare and see if this makes any measurable difference. The second pulls will be with the exact same setup, with only the Nameless OP/FP (catted & resonated) added. I already have a Borla catback and a Perrin drop-in air filter, so the baseline pulls will reflect that.
Installation was pretty painless. Took me about 2 hours all-in, which is pretty good for me! Usually I take other people's time estimates and multiply them by four! Raising one side of the engine was no big deal and made the install easy. NOTE: Remove both of the nuts from the overpipe to the header BEFORE you raise the engine, as they become harder to reach afterwards (ask me how I know). No issue with clearance, even with an upgraded front sway bar. I've pretty much got 1/2" anywhere I look where it could be close. Initial driving impressions are positive, I did not notice much of a difference in volume, but the tone of the exhaust changed subtly (for the better), a little deeper perhaps. Weight loss from this setup is pretty good, as a percentage. The stock front pipe alone weighs more than the Nameless setup (12.2lbs vs. 11.4lbs), and then you have the overpipe adding 4.5 more lbs to that, for a total of 16.7lbs, so this is an easy 5lbs+ of weight loss. ...and then there's how this piece looks compared to the stock unit: Last edited by neurokinetik; 10-13-2013 at 05:06 PM. |

Here is the comparison chart I put together. This is the better of the two baseline runs vs. both runs with the Nameless pipe. These were street pulls in 2nd gear using MaxQData logging (10Hz sample rate) and using its built-in "Road Power" calculation. Note that the absolute numbers may be way off due to improper scaling (I left the rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag coefficients at their defaults - weight was entered as 2900lbs including the driver, I did these pulls with a full tank of gas and all of the trunk junk). These were done on the same flat, straight stretch of road, and weather conditions were as close as possible (temperatures between 65F and 68F, high humidity). This is for a comparison only so you can see clear gains in performance from just this one upgrade.
Stock header, Borla Catback exhaust, Perrin drop-in air filter and the same base tune were used for all the pulls, with everything else being stock. The only difference is the Nameless Front/Over Pipe (Catted & Resonated). Last edited by neurokinetik; 10-19-2013 at 09:46 AM. Reason: Changed chart to RPM instead of MPH, moved baseline to align better with X-axis |

Sorry to bring up old thread up but does replacing the over/down pipe affect emissions? I'm in California so just wondering what happens later in the vehicles life if the cat fails or something from this unit. Have to get someone to weld in a new one? Does any of the O2 sensors go into this thing? Doesn't look like it from the pictures but just double checking.
Thank you! |

After I install my dp, it make my exhaust go higher and the exhaust hit the sub frame, and the pipe is rattling when I go about 2.5k rpm, hopefully I can bring it to nameless to take a look

Yes, you need to jack up the passenger side mount a few inches to properly get the pipe through then let it back down and tighten.
To the person with the rattle, you should probably loosen it up some and adjust then re-tighten again. It should not be rattling. |

Just installed the OP/FP myself, noticed exhaust leak at the FP and Mid pipe junction with the Tomei 60S, awaiting Nameless to get back to me with suggestion to fix leak, any suggestion?

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure I can see it in this picture. The piece after the flange that juts out. The doughnut gasket goes on that.
