There's a few reasons why I'm leaning towards Nameless: (Warning, opinions below)
1. Small shop, great guys that are passionate about what they do and produce.
2. Cost, much cheaper and no sacrifice in performance/quality.
3. Design, well thought out, goes above my head in how it works, but it does.
4. Nameless all hand built in house, unsure about Perrin.
5. Sound, unresonated Perrin is raspy as hell. Resonated is okay, but the Nameless rocks it in sound so far with the stock midpipe.
6. Overpipe design combined into one piece rather than charging you 2X for a bent pipe to a front pipe
7. Perrin seems more mainstream while Nameless is that small shop that surprises the hell out of people with the products they make.
Nothing against Perrin whatsoever. I've considered buying their headerback because it has proven performance and a long track record with Subaru's. I will most likely be buying a Perrin product for my car at some point, like the pulley for starters. The Nameless system offers the same performance, even with their tri stepped header but weighs quite a bit less overall.
You really can't go wrong with either company. It's simply a matter of taste and who you are proud to support. The Nameless guys are fun to work with and I had a great experience talking to Jason so far. I'm sure if I contacted Perrin, it would be the same. Jeff is working hard on tuning the cars now and I'm interested in those threads a lot.
Both companies have their headers coming soon. Nameless posted an update about their flanges coming in for them, but they're tweaking the design for production mode. Perrin I haven't gotten/seen an update in regards to their header.
