I keep hearing this, but haven't seen a valid comparison. Am I missing it? I suppose it does come down to what "midrange" is, since the Nameless definitely has a bit of fall-off (dips below stock at the low end of the default dip) but above that, the Nameless has some impressive numbers, and very nice torque.

The JDL EL has some very nice numbers (and the P&L and the rest) too - they're all a little different.

I made a gamble based on my past experiences, but may find I picked the wrong header for the way I'll end up actually driving this car (and availability of a used header at a nice price swayed me a bit...) Gotta start somewhere. I doubt I would actually be able to tell the difference were I to swap, in all honesty. Pick one, get the tune, and enjoy.
