I don't see any reason to pay $600 more for the same header without slip joints and a smaller convergence angle (15 vs 20 degrees). JDL's UEL header which is less than half the price of the ACE type A has a 15 degree collector anyway so it can't be that hard to make.

My point is that ACE headers work, but they are not worth $1000 more than a JDL UEL(already at the high end of the market). At ~$1100 they'd be a compelling option. At $1700 not so much.

But at least they dont sound like shit since the are EL
