Nameless Performance Equal Length Stepped Header

[emutcfut]

Nameless did have this on their Facebook so we have some ballpark numbers for untuned:

"Ok so the pulls that I have with header + stock tune had a different choke diameter at the collector than this one does - and I'm asking our tuner to get the pull with this choke diameter for an apples to apples comparison. The other choke diameter we tested wasn't as good and it made peak gains of 17ft lb and 15hp at the wheels but I'd imagine the new choke design would make more. Not sure if we'll be able to get that pull in this time around as our time is fixed and we're eager to see tuned + full port-back."

You stated I/H/E are making pretty decent gains on this platform - the I and the E in that statement are making probably somewhere around 2-3% HP gain and headers haven't too decent gains either - some break 10%. A turbo car, e.g. WRX, will make ~20-30% with just a quick exhaust and tune, not even getting into headers. Hence, I'd like what you're smoking because N/A performance just isn't there - which is why this header is such a standout compared to others.

But I was also told I was going to get my op/fp end of January.... But nothing :/

Once again, expected ship time for the first batch was end of January, with a more likely ship date into early February. Which has now shifted a month later. I doubt they will ship tomorrow, and next week is the last week for this month so March is most likely when we will receive them

It's all relative. Obviously you are going to make more power with mods to a FI vehicle. However, there is some smoothing of the torque dip and there is decent gain for just adding a header. The original question posed was how much the tune makes a difference with the header and all I said was that you can make power without the tune as evidenced in the link i recently posted.

Seems that way..... I would be surprised to see mine before St Patrick's day

The photos froma week ago didn't look like they were too far off. I've signed up for some dyno time on march 8th, hopefully it's here by then.

Then again, I did go with uncoated and 2 day shipping, so maybe those factors will help.

I chatted with Ryan yesterday, and was told that my order #4795 for a header would ship the middle to the end of next week, so the 26-28th of February.

I hope you're right... I'd love to have mine before mid March.

I'm not sure if shirts and exhaust hangers are hard to build but they've had over 700 orders since I ordered my downpipe on Thanksgiving. Probably pretty busy.

As of today, they're still working on the first batch of 50.

I think I just felt it move.

Order #4787 here, sounds like i should have it in time for my dyno day! @Tirewarmer did you go coated or uncoated?

[Tirewarmer]

I went uncoated.

Please forgive my ignorance, as I'm still in STi mode... is it worthwhile wrapping the header or overpipe?

@Ryan@Nameless any new pics for us this week? I'm guessing some are about ready.
