Damn that's a work of art. I love the design of using the overpipe as part of the header.

ETA for these being ready to ship? You've got my business on the 421. It seems expensive at first but then when you compare it to other headers plus overpipe its not bad.

Parts are ready within 4 weeks.

Because of Lunar New Year Holiday and 1 week vacation (we'll be racing in NY on the ice!) March 1st the latest.

If you're willing to give us some feedback and comparisons, we'll trade you straight-up minus shipping costs.

We'll even hold onto your nameless for 6 months if you decide you want to switch back.

PM us if you'd like.

Picture of installed system.

Did some track testing today and this header + Delicious stage 2 dropped lap times by 3+ seconds! Our car is now the only NA 86 to break 2min mark using Maxxis RC-1 tires (treadwear 100). Only 4 cars had done it previously, 3 supercharged and 1 turbo.

*side note, users of this header are requested to use stiffer front engine mounts. OEM mounts cause minor contact when driving on rough surfaces

That's awesome! Any chance of a revision to correct for the clearance issue?

Where are you getting the contact?

The overpipe portion looks like its a tight fit. Bottom left in the picture.

Hey folks,

Sorry for the long delay in updates. We're here in southern CA now and at the same time trying to get our fleet ready for our season opener in 2 weeks.

We visited with Bill and Zach at Delicious. We gave them one of our systems and we hope to release their numbers in the coming weeks. We also have them to thank for squeezing out a ridiculous amount of power for us that we never knew was there.

There's also one or two others systems here in California kicking around. They're being tested by a top quality speed shop and rumor has it they may be available for purchase in the states real soon:)

To clarify the "contact issue"-
If your motor mounts are in good condition, there is no issue.
If you have stiffer aftermarket mounts, there is no issue.
If your motor mounts are worn or cracked, there *could* be potential contact.
At this point we have no plans to change the design.

Any questions feel free to ask
Happy driving
ACE Header
