Sounds killer! I am trying to ignore the wait time right now because I want it yesterday.

I haven't heard the N1 in person so I can't directly compare, but the 2.5" Nameless (stock header) is in the middle. Cold start is definitely loud (no rasp) until the RPMs drop to warm idle, where it just purrs.

On the road, it's totally a function of how you drive it. Between 0-10% throttle it's quiet, 10-50% throttle it's louder, but still reasonable volume, 50%+ throttle and it lets you know it's there (again zero rasp).

It also seems to be louder, regardless of throttle, between 600-1800ish RPM. Between 2k-3k it's not too loud, 4k+ and it again announces its presence.

Throughout everything it's much lower and meatier than stock. With the stock EL header it's very smooth. I've got a UEL header ordered to give it a bit more boxer rumble.

I have the Nameless 4 2 1 coated headers installed along with the Miltek exhaust all the way back.
I am liking it very much, great flow characteristics and power increase. I also did an air intake and a stage 2 tune.
Nameless is a good choice.

System is shipping earlier than expected - Thanks Nameless! This means that I will have the system installed on Thursday morning just in time to take off on an 11 hour roadtrip.

Nothing like cutting it close!

hmmmm........my nameless catback came within 7 days after I ordered it .....

Of course, I told them I was old and might croak any day and my estate may go into receivership and stop all credit card payments .....

System is installed. All I can say is OMFG this is how the BRZ should sound. The only relevant mods I have so far are a Perrin inlet/(removed OEM sound colon) - a high flow filter and the nameless system. Driving Nirvana. So much more fun to drive. No dyno yet. If I was to guess - I have not picked up much HP/TQ - however - it sounds so much better. It breathes easy. It accelerates faster. The tires squeak easier. If anything - it feels 5x faster when driving.

This Nameless system is exactly what I was looking for. Quiet but assertive/bassy when idling and cruising and throaty/dangerous but refined when hammering it.

One FYI - my setup did not come with any replacement gaskets. Nameless designed it this way to use the OEM gaskets on the car. However - this tweaked out the tuner I had do the install. They are used to working with new gaskets when doing this type of job. Anyway - the front end was leaking when they were "finished" - they ended up having to really torque down on the thing to get it seated properly. So - it might not be a bad idea to plan on having a couple of new gaskets around when you order since they do not feel it is needed. If you call and ask about gaskets - they are likely to respond "everything you need is in the packages" - which may be true but that does not include gaskets.

Also - I did not receive any licence plate holders which I would have gladly put on. I got a sticker and what appears to be a cozy of some sort - I will have to check it out.

Final verdict: Totally awesome. Great job Nameless - this is how I want my boxer to sound!

I placed my order on 3/13 for the header and header-back exhaust. I also had Ryan add the Nameless Ecutek cable and license. The tune is made by Nameless specifically for their header. It isn't listed on their website but is available upon request.

The header-back arrived today. So.. 10 weeks to the day (I live in the SF bay area). The header and Ecutek stuff hasn't shipped yet. I can't speak for the products (as I haven't installed them yet) but I have to give major props to the support I received - specifically from Ryan. I called and emailed multiple times with questions and changes to my order and received prompt follow-up and updates every time. Once the header comes in I'll get it installed along with the exhaust and tune. I'm having my filmmaker buddy do some HQ before & after shots which I'll post.

PS - All of the boxes fit PERFECTLY in the car. Coincidence??

Same here, no gaskets included. No biggie, I ordered a few from FT86 Speed Factory anyway. I probably didn't *need* to replace the gaskets, but whenever gaskets, crush washers, etc. are involved I always replace them whether they need it or not. They're cheap and it's not worth the savings to spend my time chasing down leaks.

Enjoy the pipes! I've certainly been enjoying mine!
