Ther new Blackheart Hooker line was launched in 2014 to cater their premium line. The engineer in charge of the FR-S that I had met was actually one of the original engineers from DC Sports. I remember having DC Sports headers on my 1993 Honda Civic and if I remember, they were the leaders in quality and performance in the 90's.
Yes, I hope to post pics if they let me.

They will be doing a complete product list. Headers, axle backs, cat backs, front pipes, maybe even possibly a tuner since they also own DiabloSport tuners (not for sure).
From my understanding, they are going to be developing exhaust dual set up, single outlet set up for total weight reduction, headers w/ and w/o cats, front pipes w/ and w/o cats, mid pipes w/ & w/o resonators (these r options if a guy w/ an axle back decides to upgrade to a cat back.

I would definitely buy a header if it was CARB legal... not happening in ten years at least for me though...

Is it just me, or does Blackheart Hooker sound like it's related to prostitution?

I can't recall the specifics but I believe it is California law dictates that a car must have an OEM header for the first ten years of its lifetime.

Not an expert, but I'm not so sure about that, even for California. I believe the header just has to be CARB approved.

Dropped off my FR-S this morning at Holley. I got a sweet Chevrolet Sonic from the rental place as my loaner.....LOL!!!!!
Anyhow, they said it would be on the dyno this afternoon to perform a baseline. I hope to sneak away a little early from work to check it out.

He means tell them to get on the forums and post what they are working on in this thread so the community can be involved with their development process and provide feedback.
