Also $250 less if I am not mistaken? Plus we've been very up front with photos, videos, and dyno data.

LOL at the Nameless comparison. Why do you think they JUST released more info on their header? Because FT-86 SpeedFactory is releasing theirs not even 2 months after presenting it to the forum. How long has Nameless taken now? And I'm pretty sure they have more than 2 people at Nameless.

In my case it would be $50 more for nameless. Also your header is actually $950. Im upset because i really wanted this because of the cat keeping the sound down.

These forums are availble for all opinions if that be good or bad. Im sure i am not the only person upset at the price.

You may however, may have inspired other companies to produce a catted header at a lower price given the attention this thread has created. That is a good thing and for that i commend you.

There are 3 other catted headers... FA20Club for 970, P&L for 970, and HKS for 1400...

I dont know anyone who would doubt the performance that the nameless headers will be able to produce. Yes they are slow to the market but i think the end result is worth it.

I am not trying to promote the nameless headers here. Both these products are expensive. Its just, for me i think ill get more bang for my buck if i spend $50 or 100 more.

I was really hoping for a less costly catted header. Its difficult spending $1k on 1 part for a $25k car.

Good thing it's not $1k.

These are expensive parts. Just the way it is during the first couple years of a new model car. Also one thing you are forgetting is that the FT-86 SpeedFactory headers are UEL. Likely all of us that want to buy these want both performance and sound. I know I want more of the boxer rumble. The nameless are EL and thus no boxer sound note.

Also another thing that concerns me is the dyno charts that Nameless posts on their OP is the header + full exhaust while FT-86 SpeedFactory did their dyno work on a bone stock car. This is not to say that the Nameless wont make a ton of power because I'm sure it will. I would like to see these two compared on the same car with no other mods to see how much better the EL set up ends up being. yes i do know that ELs almost always make more power but this comes back to the fact that many of us want a UEL header.

just my 2 cents but i think more than anything you should decide if you want an EL or a UEL as the price difference is marginal at $50-$100 on products of this price.
