However the internal and external heat treatment won't be on most Nameless manifolds  Having not seen a Nameless manifold I can't comment on whether they are the same, we were told they were exclusive. It may well be the coating that's exclusive as that makes a fair difference.
As for pricing, it quite....er.... Interesting isn't it?! There were quite a few jaws dropping on reveal.
However I spent some time with their lead engineer and we saw a FA20 on an engine dyno. They have evaluated the whole engine and was interesting discussing their findings. They have used full engine development software based on an engine tear down to get dimensions and specs etc.
The things that stick out in memory:
-Stock airbox is good for at least 300bhp
-the main resonator does help for NA cars, the others make no difference and the sound generator does affect performance.
-The air feed/snorkel is not a restriction.
-Cams aren't worthwhile |
That will be VERY interesting to see then, I assume the main resonator is the largest one off to the left of the intake box? The header comes very close to it and I nearly melted it with all the idling I did at my last autocross. i was just going to drill out the rivets and remove it, but now I'll have are think if it actually affects performance (I assume it is mostly in low end torque). For reference I have the nameless header (coated) and the one in the Cosworth video looks to be the same.
