From the presentation they made at their HQ, my analysis is that they allocated way too much development time for the exhaust system and mapping, and with that, too much money spent. Why couldn't they just realise that everyone else uses a 2.5" exhaust for an N/A application for a reason? Why did they have to find out for themselves.

A month ago I heard they made the first installation in UK. Only one installation after so many months? Now they are trying to promote it a bit more.

you guys really dont think things through or read everything do you? Why would they make a 2.5 inch CBE when this is just STAGE 1 and they plan to release a Stage 2 and 3 in the future you really think they would release a 2.5 inch CBE when they plan to go FI.
And to the 2nd guy who cant read. You do realize that the header is from Nameless right? All of these parts are rebranded Nameless parts. It would only be worth getting the Stage 1.1 and then buying the Headers and Front/Overpipe from Nameless, as all of there new front/over pipes are going to be the design that Cosworth offers instead of their old one.

Just wondering where the IAM value would be then.

Their was a dyno already done in this thread 2 actually I think.
