Nameless header + overpipe fitment issues

[Imrac]

I actually had sent mine back to Nameless due to this problem. The replacement one I received wasn't much better, I originally had less than a feeler gauges worth of clearance with JDL headers, about 1/32th of an inch with OEM headers. My replacement now has about 16th of an inch of clearance with JDL Headers.

I just don't understand why they couldn't have bent it slightly more and brought it closer to the sub-frame. There is about 2 inches of clearance between the pipe and the sub-frame.

For now though, I am keeping mine like it is. I couldn't imaging how 3" is fitting.

Imrac, my problem is the opposite. It's the subframe mine is hitting! The head and top of the flange seem fine, though it was a pain tightening the top bolt, no way to get a socket on it.

Hmm Strange.

As for tightening the bolts, I had to use a couple of wrenches, I wasn't able to get a socket in there. Luckily, I had a short and a normal length in the same size to be able to tighten them down.

Damned. Just checked mine - no clearance at all. Can't even fit a banknote between the pipe nad the block. JDL headers. Now I probably understand why it's still raspy despite the quiet Perrin resonated... Don't know yet what to do but disappointed

I still need to pull mine back off and take a hammer to the front / over pipe where it hits the head... Its a shame that the nameless header made the fitment even worse than it was with the fa20club header....

I hope they get this issue fixed, I was looking at the 3.0" op/dp combo for my next purchase. This is making me think I'll be going a different route entirely though and staying away from Nameless parts for now.

Those of you with the JDL headers, how are you liking them? Did you get a tune and see a difference? I'm wanting to go catted and EL.

I can't attest to EL or Catted, but the UEL ones look fantastic, have great fitment and sounds amazing. I am going in for a tune next Friday.

JDL has an overpipe and a downpipe (I think they have 3" versions)

I was looking at their op and dp too, thinking I might have to go that route when I'm ready to buy. Just bought the Perrin 3.0" CBE this last weekend, so it will be a little while.

Looking forward to seeing your results after a tune. Do you have a build thread?

JDL + OFT UEL Stage 2 tune here - very noticeble! No dyno charts, just the butt dyno but my butt dyno was blowing after the first ride after tune! Rumble sound is great too!

P.S. Ordered Motiv front pipe & over pipe. $700+ wasted thanks to Nameless

I LOVE my JDL EL catted header! Best thing I've bought for this car.

On topic, I had the same problems everyone else in this thread is having. I swapped out my Nameless over/front pipe for Motiv pieces. Everything is perfect now!

Man, that sounds fantastic and I like those results after a tune. Thanks for the links!

Wow! We are just doing the same steps! How is the difference in sound with Motiv after Nameless? What catback do you run?

I was worried about drone when taking off the Nameless pipe with the helmholtz resonator, but there was absolutely zero change.

Catback: Perrin 2.5" resonated.
