It would appear that whatever restriction there is comes from the airbox itself (likely the duct) and not the filter material. This isn't surprising as this seems to be case with many vehicles.

Syms, HKS and a few others including me (one off) have made an enlarged intake snorkel duct.

From my personal experience, the stock intake snorkel duct seems to restrict top end power a decent amount.

And if I remember correctly... the opening on the stock duct is about 10mm smaller than the throttle body.

Looking forward to that tablet btw.

When you factor in the area taken up by throttle plate and shaft, they're probably not too far off from flowing the same

If that's the Namless header, there will be a lot of upset fanbois.

Looks like their first one that Tainan was running. His still had a dip but it added tq to the dip.

Very interesting. I've been looking for a good alternative to ecutek. Will you guys offer F/I tunes in the future, for Vortech/Innovate superchargers? Is that something the hardware can support?

While possible it's not what Anthony meant.

It's a "nameless header" aka a header without a name not the shop nameless.


It would be pretty stupid to make 3 revisions and develop for 2 years a header that is just as weak as a borla unit.
