Hey I have done my part...please please do this exhaust!

Any updates on this?

Count me in for a group buy or pre-sale. Hoping some updates are around the corner.

We're working on getting the next few iterations of the prototypes on the car. Waiting for them to be fabbed up...

While most of the design parameters have already been achieved, "good enough" is not acceptable to CSG or Ace. When it's ready, it will be one of the best solutions on the market. Until then... sit tight.

Take your time. I would rather have a truly finished product rather than a rushed one. Plus it'll give me time to save up my pennies. hehe

Hi Everyone,

The spec could've been met a while ago...but CSG's pursuit of excellence (

) is driving us to produce something to remember. Our original plan was for mid-2016, we now realize we need to pick up the pace a bit.

Good things come to those who wait...

Happy driving,
Ace

PS- Thanks to CSG for pushing us to the limit and for reminding us "anyone can be mediocre".

thanks to both of you for taking the time to develop this unique muffler. Been waiting almost 3 years for something like this!

Is it safe to assume that this piece will eventually make it to production now? I know there were questions looming around about this...

It would also be very interesting to see results combined with the 4-2-1 header...

We can confirm that the prototypes thus far have not exhibited any power loss over the stock muffler on the test mule (JRSC, High boost pulley, Ace 4-2-1, 350 collector, front pipe, stock mid pipe, CSGxAce muffler)

Although I can't say with 100% certainty for a NA setup since it hasn't been tested on the dyno, if the SC setup isn't losing power, I doubt an NA setup would.

Does this mean you are making two different mufflers? Could you tell me/us how the muffler design differs (if at all) between the single and dual exit?

I... can't comment on that. Yet.

No significant gains though? I know catback exhausts don't gain much but......

No gains. I would put money that there is not a single catback on the market that can show proven gains short of a turbo FRS/BRZ.

I'll take that as a yes *fingers crossed*
