Well, your smartphone is made in China...

and CSG isn't in the habit of endorsing low quality products.

For 900, how do you like the quality of your iPhone made in China by a Taiwanese company?

I wish CSG can showcase the inner welding of the ACE header....

*slightly* different from the final production piece, but you get the idea.

@CSG Mike is this header on the supercharged car or an NA setup? How would you compare it to the tomei el offering? Pretty obvious they're in totally different leagues. Just trying to look at it from a price vs performance perspective.

CSG Mike · 06-12-2015, 03:21 PM

A few more pics...

Our testing isn't complete yet; it's gonna be a while for the SC results, as we have to test many, many combinations. It's a LOT of dyno time and tuning to test each header, particularly when you add in our fuel combinations.

The NA results are based off of the strongest non-ACE header we found during our testing, which happened to be a UEL. We will be doing a similar amount of testing with the JRSC. Please be patient; it may be another 6-8 weeks before we have enough detail to publish results we can comfortably back with hard evidence.

If it looks like those pics then yeah. Those look amazing!

2ndgenhachi · 06-12-2015, 03:53 PM

It does look like an amazing piece. Can't wait to see the results of CSG testing.

Are the NA testing results not enough?

2ndgenhachi · 06-12-2015, 04:36 PM

It's not that they're not enough but I'm several months away from buying a header so might as well sit back and see the JRSC results since that's what I'll be running.

If I can ever get a weekend off to install it that is...

That merge is pure sex. Gorgeous.

abraxis · 06-12-2015, 11:43 PM

Any chance of coatings being offered?

Also, if that is the level of craftsmanship we will see on thr production units, I'm totally down!

sw20kosh · 06-13-2015, 01:08 AM

I've held a production unit in my hands at an event CSG was at. O M G...

I was also at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca when they were testing it on track. Sounds very smooth and somewhat high pitched.
