Yeah, it's not rocket science to weld pipes as straight as possible to the rear. More engineering is needed on the manifold.

I'd rather just get the entire system and pay for one tune than go in steps like this and paying for more calibrations.

I thought I read somewhere you can only buy by the stages and not individual components through cosworth. Could be wrong

Sounds pretty good to me. Just needs a little turbo blow off at the end

The 1.3 IS the full stage 1 package.

Individual parts aren't available.

How much are these unicorns you have for sale?

Is that why your name is green?

I got mine, full 3 inch (I'm turbo which quiets it more but even compared to 2.5 turbo cars..) and people can't believe it is 3 inch. It's quieter at idle than a 2.5 axleback, by far. Cruising is almost stock like sound. of course all of this is because I wanted it quiet but it can also be made as loud as you want too.

Regarding the tune, there are a few competent tuners out there, top choice @jamesm who doesn't compromise driveability with making power, they both go hand by hand for him......

But the package does not offer any performance/reliability/quality benefit over a setup you can piece together.

but....DA STICKERS

I know that potential purchasers of the stage I kit may not want to reveal themselves for fear of being mocked for "spending too much" but I'm really curious to hear real-world impressions of the Stage I setup...

So, anyone with any real feedback/impressions?

[350matt]

Banzai Magazine have driven it
the full 1.3 version

I've got a copy, seems that they liked it

[FR-S89]

Can you buy stage 1.1

Then upgrade to 1.2

Then 1.3?

e.g. I buy stage 1.1 for $2700, then a few months later pay the difference between stage 1.1 and 1.2.. or is this not possible? They did say buying individual parts is not possible so how are we supposed to upgrade stages?

Also any videos of this? I want to hear how loud it is

We just sold a stage 1.3 kit to a forum member on here. We are waiting for the header to complete the entire package. But he says he is going to write up a pretty detailed review.

Yes. That is the point of the separate stages so that people can upgrade whenever they can.

I want this kit pretty bad! When I can afford it I will have it...

I will proudly post my thoughts and info when that day get's here. Haha!

The way I look at it the extra $800 is for the tune and Cosworth beating on this setup on their "Nurburgring Simulator" and also you can't get a 3" all through system that is as quiet as the Cosworth setup (as far as I can tell and what Nameless told me...)

I should say that Nameless told me their product that is the most similar is not as quiet as what they built for Cosworth.
