If anyone wants to pay for my luggage space, I'm going to Taiwan in August and will be like 5 miles from the ACE factory location...

Just saying.

Also, free bump.

We hope that you guys approve of the CSG methodology for testing these parts on the dyno; we're trying to find the best balance between getting reproduceable, real results, while keeping the cost of testing reasonable.

We'll be testing more in the near future.

@csgmike
While you were do the repeated dynos were you on stock engine mounts?
Do you notice any rubbing or scraps on the aceheaders?
I've been wanting this header but the recommended stiffer engine mounts kind of sway me off a little.

We did not. We did not notice any rubbing/scraping/vibrating at the track this weekend at Laguna Seca either.

The car was run for 10 sessions, as well as ~1000 miles on the highway.

Can't wait for the front pipes results
Also do you by any chance have a dyno/sound clip of the header?

Give us time. CSG actually performs thorough testing and actually goes to the track, so the results come slowly, but when they do, they're backed with concrete evidence.

What additional sort of testing would you guys like to see?

Please keep in mind that our resources are limited...
