Yep, I'm well aware. I'm undecided between the two. The Magnaflow is ~$50 cheaper and sold through a wide variety of retailers (many of which offer discount coupons/sales) but there are no third party reviews, where the Nameless is more expensive and exclusively sold through Nameless but highly regarded. Both are stainless steel and offer factory fitment.

My Lachute exhaust resonator on mid pipe and the actual canisters are Magnaflow and zero drone. So I can see this discussed piece being a good solution to taming down volume levels and likely for header folks eliminating rasp which for those that care is a win win. I'll be interested to hear results from folks as Headers is my next step while not wanting to increase annoying sounds and levels too much.

Looks like a pretty nice option; surprised there aren't more HFC front pipes with a resonator.

I also asked via email after receiving the pics if the cat was a high flow, and he said they do not advertise their cats as High Flow because they are made for emission purposes, but they will increase flow between 20-40% over an OEM.

What do you guys think?

damn that's ugly.

it looks like that was just spot/tack welds for the mock-up; not the finished product.

I have the nameless op/fp combo (the 'replaces factory overpipe' downpipe) pipe and it's great. The hemholz does it's job well, and the cat is there for having a cat but not getting in the way of flow. It was a bit of a pain to install, b/c it's a single piece, so you HAVE to lift the engine to get it in (not a problem. Just unbolt the subframe-to-motor mount bolts, and jack up the engine. once the pipe is in position and on the hanger, lower the engine and screw the bolts back on.... easy. getting the op mated properly to the header is a bigger pain in the ass), but other than that it's a great piece. Doesn't have all the jagged sharp edges like the OEM stuff does, either.

Oh, and the single piece has one less area to develop an exhaust leak at!

Who cares? It's a non-visible component as far as aethetics go. As long as its properly welded and flows well, looks matter jack squat.

See below; strangely enough, no real pics of the production piece have surfaced yet.

Thanks for clarifying.

Drat. I was hoping this thread bump would be your review of it.

ATL BRZ · 05-02-2014, 03:38 PM

I just ordered it from Stillen for $380 shipped with promo code MAGEXH13. The $90 in savings over Amazon convinced me to pull the trigger on it.
I'll post some pics and if everything looks good I'll install and review it on the car. Stay tuned.

Keep us updated

My front pipe arrived earlier today!

I posted several more detailed pics and gave my initial thoughts in my build thread.

Vmax911 · 05-10-2014, 03:11 AM

Interested in your findings once the installation is done. I'm running the stock front pipe, and don't want it any louder. Please let us know any differences in sound.
