On paper, 42.7 mm long primaries should give more torque at low rpms, but sacrifying high rpms against 45 mm of the 2017 headers. Very long secondaries should give good mid range torque.
With ACE, I expect a little more on high rpms, but not as much any classic EL header, almost same low end torque of stock >2017 header and almost no mid range torque hole.
Does this justify the cost? In my opinion, no.

Too bad the Fujitsubo is only available as part of the $3K EPU kit. The HKS is looking pretty good for about $600.
