That's good. Hopefully it'll be sub 1k
Can't wait!

I wouldn't count on that.... 321SS is spendy....

Might get close with a group buy but that assumes they're doing one.


I'm saving my pennies and waiting to see what performance difference there is for an additional ~$400

They've been aiming for under/around $1k the whole time. Even if it's over, it shouldn't be by much.

Was ready to purchase the JDL UEL header, after seeing this now im ready to wait! That update just stopped my payment, quick question for the true enthusiasts, one item will be catless, Catted or Catless Header/ Catted or Catless Downpipe? The header catless will obviously be a louder tone then the Downpipe catless but, i feel a catless header might release a few more ponies than catted where as a downpipe catted will be just about same exact as a catless downpipe, so for performance the catless header will be the obvious choice? Correct me if im wrong please!

Yes if your going to have one cat in the system it's better performance wise to have it in the downpipe vice the header....

I'm still undecided as to whether I'm going catless or leaving one in the downpipe...

Exactly. If you have one at all, it should be in the pipe after the header. I find catless exhausts raspy, so I opted for the front pipe cat when I originally made my exhaust choice.

For what it's worth P&L released two dynos comparing their catted header vs their catless header and the difference was very minimal. This header may be a bit of a different story but it might make people feel better about keeping two cats for sound and know that they probably aren't sacrificing too much. I'm still torn...

A) The catted header is more expensive.
B) The cat in the header is more likely to die out faster than the front pipe cat.
C) If you really want to control noise, get a good resonator in your midpipe or add an additional one in the front pipe/ down pipe.
D) Places that have visual inspection of both cats would be the "ONLY" reason I would get a catted header.

Does anyone know if Nameless has yet to create a FULL headerback exhaust system? I know they havent created a aftermarket midpipe but, im guessing with the demand does anyone know if they started it yet? Love to purchase a full headerback exhaust system; alongside with their EL Header!

No, because they didn't really see a need to with the stock midpipe not changing performance numbers. The downpipe and axleback was sufficient enough in their tests. Not to mention the stock resonator is really good with sound dampening with the header and downpipe.

Hey Matt, you mentioned there might be a couple variations (3?) to the header. Think they'll all be released around the same time (Mid July maybe??) or will it be sort of 1 at a time.

Mainly I'm holding out for one to work with the vortech kit and hoping it'll fit. Any chance they can find someone local to do a quick test fit?

I'm not sure about the release of all versions in July. I do know that Road & Track was just sent theirs which was the very first completed one.

As for Vortech fitment, we'll have to wait and see. I believe you'll find one that does fit based on the designs though. I have only seen the two designs for the Innovate kit and the turbo manifold.

Mid to late July possibly... they're swamped as usual. I'm sure Jason will hop in here and chime in when production is about to begin.
