I was also at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca when they were testing it on track. Sounds very smooth and somewhat high pitched.
Yamaha sound, high pitched, smooth? Sounds like a F1 engine of two or more generations ago.

Also, if that is the level of craftsmanship we will see on thr production units, I'm totally down!
Coatings will be offered, or we can refer you if you'd like. Please PM if you're interested in purchasing the header pre-coated.

Also, note on the first fly-by how clean the FRS sounds, and then the crazy rasp/rattle from the RSX behind it...

I get it so that no aftermarket header cannot fit stock header heat shield. But do engine protection underside panel fits over AH's 4-2-1 fine?

Mike, how loud is the ACE header/overpipe with the rest of the exhaust OEM? Just curious if you would recommend this for a DD or for a more track-dedicated car. Any drone at cruising speeds (60, 70, 75mph)?

On throttle? Fairly loud; you're freeing up a lot of flow, but this is loud for an OEM muffler. It's still quieter than virtually every aftermarket catback setup.

Cruising? Roughly same as stock. Zero drone. I think it actually was a little quieter in car with

Two runners, and the OEM car has two sensors, so it gives you something to plug in to. Normally you'd read AFR; you can use either or, or both. Each bung only reads half the cylinders.
