Oh well, I guess that's the down side of having such a successful shop. Too many projects and not enough people to complete them.
Yeah, they're short on manpower for sure. They will be expanding more and will have more fabricators/welders to keep up with the demand from when I last saw something about it.

I'm still on the fence with what I want to do. I could run the JDL UEL for a year or two then just worry about the header when I do indeed go FI, or just use the Nameless header and convert over and deal with equal length and no boxer rumble.

I guess it is going to really come down to sound for me. I've been fighting this battle back and forth with the header.

I was sitting on the exact same fence.....

Made a decision for the sweet boxer rumble, so will have the Rev Works UEL header installed in a couple of weeks...

From there I'm thinking a FA20CLUB stage 2 tune and then turbo...
At least that's the game plan as of now.

Rev Works is definitely priced better and by no means lower quality. I wouldn't rule them out either as one of my header choices. Still trying to determine if those flex bellows are really worth it and the merge collector difference.

As of now, the only turbo kit that utilizes a UEL is AVO. Wondering if there are plug and play kits that go with other UEL's.

Accelerated Performance and Ptuning both do not connect to the header, so you can choose whatever header you like.

Yeah i know there really taking there time to make sure the product is top notch, but i hope that they realize many of us are impatient and people who go on and purchase other heads could have been purchases for the Nameless Headers. Not saying this to make Nameless speed up the process or what not but they have to understand people are getting really impatient and purchasing other headers. Hope they realize this and give us at least some updates for us patiently waiting.

How is it that the Nameless midpipe weighs more than stock? I'd pay for their midpipe if it weighed less and made no power... I'd think its possible with the rest of their exhaust weighing in less than stock but

Super Charger would into the category as well - right ?

I need to get down your way and see your setup. Maybe in a couple months when I head to FT86CLUB for a tune.

Nameless doesn't make a mid-pipe IIRC. They would if it affected performance but it does not.

I'm not on the list myself. Still undecided on if I'm going UEL or EL, but I am leaning towards UEL because I'm a sucker for exhaust note.

They are waiting for the unicorns to get to slaughtering age. It's their tears and ground horns that are the keys to dip elimination.

Yes sir, SC do not touch exhaust so any header would work. Let me know when you plan on coming!!
