Nameless op/dp install at Ishii
 

Have any of you guys had the nameless 2.5 dp/op installed by Ishii? I just spent an insane amount of time researching what exhaust to run and now when I call Ishii to have it installed they say fitment on that pipe is too tight and they warn against me installing it. They say they won't warranty the install and that it will likely cause heat issues where it is so close to the cylinder head. At this point I'm thinking about just having them install the nameless axleback and selling the op/dp bc they have me scared. Anybody have any experience with this?

Doesn't @NickFRS have nameless these installed on his car?

I am running the Nameless pipe with no issues but I know people that have had issues. As with any somewhat mass produced item there is some degree of error allowed in the bends and welds if you got a "bad" one then it may come close on either side of there the OP is

So you think I should just ignore their concerns and just have them install it?

Did they even test fit it? if they test fitted it and said it was too close then I could understand but it sounds like they just instantly wrote it off maybe find a better shop to the the install if they won't even try to check the fitment

I know at least 6 people in my area that have them without any issues. I've had mine for a year and everything is great. The trick to installing it is to raise the engine up a little as it won't go in otherwise because of the flange (I think that's what it's called). Like the post above said however, not every single item that someone produces will be perfect so there's bound to be a defect here and there. If there is just call them up and ask if you can drive down to La Center to have them get it on.

Best option in my opinion would be to call Nameless up and schedule a time for them to put it on for you. Odds are they wouldn't charge you if they are able to do it. That way if there is a fitment issue they can just grab another one and put it on.

I'm happy that the shop was pretty up front and blunt.

Granted this could be good but one bad install doesn't mean every piece from that company is now crap if they actually did test fit it and find that it was too close I understand their stance but it doesn't seem like that was the case thats like me counting out eating bacon cause one time bacon made me sick

Thanks for all the replies. Just to clarify, I just received my nameless axleback and op/dp 2.5" today and they both look like beautiful quality made pieces. I called ishii today to set up an install. Their receptionist said they don't recommend that pipe bc it has clearance issues near the cylinder head. They said they would still install it if I elected to but they would not be able to warranty it. I scheduled an appointment for next Wednesday, if I'm not happy with fitment I'll just have them take it off. This just has me sort of worried because I spent lots of time researching both nameless and ishii and they are both extremely reputable shops, I figured it would be a more seamless install.

Strange. My OP/FP fits perfectly... love it.

I would call Jason over at nameless if u do end up having a problem. Nameless is a great company that stands by their products and I really doubt that they would not go above and beyond to take care of u. Being that theyre local u could just run over and see them if needed.

This is my last resort. I'm hoping I don't have to go this route, it's a pretty long drive and I have an extremely tight work schedule.

I had fitment issues with my over and front pipe.

Those of you that don't have issues, do you have the older style from nameless that is transmission specific or the newer version that works with auto and manaual trans?
