Ace and Nameless header comparison
 
Hello all,

I just switched from the Nameless header to the Ace and wanted to share my experience. This is on my STX prepped car, mods are identical between dynos other than the related front pipe/over pipe. Both tuned by Church via ecutek, same dynapack, runs are 2.5 years apart. CA 91 oct.

Mods:
TRD intake
Perrin 2.5" resonated CBE

Nameless setup:
Early release tri-y header w/3" outlet
Nameless 3" over/front pipe w/cat, resonator and helmholtz. Tapers to 2.5" at CBE.

Ace setup:
Type A 350 tri-y header and over pipe
JDL 2.5" front pipe w/cat and resonator (ultra quiet)

Green is Nameless, blue is Ace

Was hoping for more out of the Ace, but I think my expectations were a little too far removed from reality haha.

Is that running 93 or e85?

Sorry for the 20 questions. Picked up an ACE 350 over winter as well here so will be trying it out this spring. I'm coming from a stock header and over pipe though vs other aftermarkets.

Awesome, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Seems like the Ace and Nameless are the best options right now.

So I've heard. To bad you were not able to get back to back runs with the different setups in the same day :/

I went from Nameless to Ace and never looked back.

Still had a big torque dip with the Namless from 3200-4400 or so.

My Ace has a small dip from 2250-2750, but that's a low enough RPM that's it's not really noticeable (unless you're @Decay107 and looking for a reason to shit on my EL hawtness).

edit: I'll add that tomei/gruppe-s is the way to go. I don't like UEL/bro sounds, so that's why I will forever be mocked for spending too much money for within-spitting-distance results).

I'm shocked!

Thats ok the EL sound is the sound of power :P

Nice! I've been wanting to see a comparison between these two headers.
