Documented reason more or less means mechanical failure.

Like a screwdriver mysteriously lodged in your cat? Dunno how that got there officer?

1. Saw off cat
2. Sell cat for cash and have an alibi for the date/time of sale
3. File police report & go to shop
4. ????
5. Profit

need to find a speed bump and go at the perfect angle where it'll tear the header & pray doing that doesn't ruin anything else.
Lol

Can anyone clarify if this header (or some variant of it, obviously with a cat) will pass emissions tests where the testing is ECU-only? (In Ontario they are just switching over from tailpipe to OBD II/ECU readout emissions testing, required every 2 years.)

Apologies if the answer is buried in the past 41 pages, but I don't have the time to wade through it all.

Going somewhere? Is the product ready to buy and now you're in a rush to purchase it before it sells out? There's some good discussion in this thread. If you're not on a forum to retain information, then what's up?

Sorry, it's not necessarily personal. I've just seen this more and more lately.

"I know this thread's full of useful information, but I don't want to look for the information I'm specifically looking for."

I know I personally do my best to "wade" through info and I feel all the better for it. Give it a shot! It's actually kind of fun and helps build the community when you read a bunch and learn which members actually have valuable information to share when you see them post in other threads.

Just my $0.02 on a soap box. /rant

If you can't read through the helpful posts and R&D this thread has to offer, then no, this header isn't for you. It won't pass emissions and it is for pure performance. Nameless doesn't make Prius headers. If they do a sniffer on your car, you MIGHT get lucky with a catted header, but it all depends on the flow it picks up. No guarantees.

If it is only ECU testing, as long as you don't throw a CEL it should be fine.

Got ants in my pants and called today. Sounds like the latest iteration is ready for the Dyno. Can't wait for an update!

[FR-S Matt]

For as much as I love the UEL sound, having a Nameless header to their full exhaust system sounds wonderful, even if it is an EL.

Not quite ready for the dyno, primaries Y's are completed and we're headed over to pick up some tubing to finalize the secondary Y and collector. We are pretty excited about what we have built so far. And have some big news coming in the near future, just waiting on parts. Will be some easter eggs in the header layout once we post photos up. :-D Luckily our STi turbo project was held up on getting the turbo here so we were able to get the BRZ/FR-S header put in front of that.

Sounds excellent on the header progress! Can't wait to see it.

This is great news. You guys should be finishing my exhaust I ordered weeks ago soon and it would be cool to get the catted header at the same time.

The Face Hugger 2.0 has arrived....John just finished up the fabrication work on our next iteration of our header testing.

4-2-1 Tri Y Long Tube Header. Features triple stepped design with a choked 3" outlet collector and 1.75 -> 2.00 -> 2.13 tubular construction. We have set it up to test 3" and 2.5" outlet sizes for power differential as well as 3" and 2.5" overpipe downpipe combos catted and catless. Don't expect to have any huge shocks there in terms of differential between 2.5" and 3" - thinking that is going to be a negligible change and honestly, as loud as this full 3" exhaust is with 4 mufflers in it (LOUD), I'm guessing power to sound ratio isn't going to be something that is going to impact too many peoples buying decision.

Anyhow, the header is done, we're working on a few supporting mods for it (there are a few other configurable items that we have planned into this design - some might be rather surprising), and then should have a chance to go rod on it tonight before we switch to a little 5th Gen Legacy GT development tomorrow and then go back to work on our ballistic 6466 turbo kit for the STi.

So here are some photos to drive you guys crazy for a few more days. Should have this to the dyno by Monday or Tuesday.







In designing and fabricating this setup we also came up with some other ways that we can make the other two existing designs a little easier - so if this one picks up quite a bit of power we will build a few of those other two designs out using some of those techniques and test them as well. May have a few units ready to go here and get into customers hands at that point also. We're doing our best to bring these all to market asap. This one is going to have the most value to our customers I'm thinking. It allows some....unique capabilities. Lets play Where's Waldo.
