The gauges. I have chrome knobs but they are different. They're knurled.

Sorry, no pics.


Here's the ones I got with the magna cluster in the video below. That does a lot too.

Just got finished installing my ACE 350 headers!! Still waiting on base tune from CSG/Delicous they said by the weekend.

Took a spin with my OFT V4.03 tune but didn't go full throttle. Intial thoughts are great you can tell the torque dip is gone just as good or better then the Gruppe-s uel headers.
Also I prefer the tone of EL header its sounds much cleaner and refined and maybe a bit quieter then the UEL. Sounds great with my Invidia CFP, HKS Legamax. Although I may change as I want 2.5" piping all the way throught to match the output of the ACE.

Any of the Japanese exhausts are going to be 2.36". Considering Hooker Blacker Catted with Helmholtz chamber FP, and their dual catback (7lbs lighter than stock). Or Borla Catback (10lbs lighter than stock)


Comparison picture. All bolts anti-seized, all connection surfaces lightly coated with acoustic-seal, ready to install



scraped all surfaces of old gasket


Forgot to take pics after it was all bolted up
Did have to take off a 14mm for the passenger side motor mount and jacked an inch with a board under the oilpan.

I also installed the Overpipe first which blocks access to one of the header bolts with a socket. I was able to reach around with a wrench to get to it. Overall painless install.

Can't wait for my tune!!!

Splurged for the ones you got. Fitment is Perfect! No double sided tape needed



Also Alcantara wrapped the window controls. No more plastic T's!

Update: Have had a few back and forth datalogs with Delicious Tuning no revisions on the base tune they have sent so far. Which means their revisions must be getting better and better.

Just got in the first part to mate up with the ACE 350. I am switching to a Hooker Headers catted front pipe with an old school technology J-Pipe Helmholtz resonator. ~9.5lbs 2.5"OD. So only .25lbs heaver than my catted Invidia FP with no resonator and 60mm piping.

Comes in 2 parts. Was disappointed it didn't come with a new front gasket but my ACE one I just put on should still be good.





Interesting they sealed the inside of the J-pipe and it only has a small maybe 1/2 hole. This is supposed to get rid of Drone

Finally installed the new Hooker Blackheart Catted FP, And Borla Catback
NEW Estimated vehicle Weight = 2526.5 LBS

Got about 10lbs lighter today with no increase volume in exhaust just a deeper tone and increase in flow with 2.5" (63mm) piping to mate up with ACE 350 headers!

Inside of Borla muffler interesting!


Carbon Fiber Driveshaft. If I wanted I could de-weld the stock Driveshaft mounting steel and save some more weight there!



Everything Installed

Not any louder than my old setup. Again more free flowing and deeper tone. No drone or rasp. Best of all worlds

Sunday Update:


7th revision of Zach and Delicious Tune. The turn around is really fast on their part, the delay is usually on me getting logs back to them with my job being busy. The drivetrain seems smoother and smoother each time. Even the shifting seems smoother and the exhaust sounds more refined.


Added some interior accents from Aliexpress. Im really impressed with the quality of the shift knob. ALso did the guage cluster and a mirror knob.

Finished with Delicious Tuning the ACE 350. Took 7 revisions to get perfect. Acceleration is nice and smooth and powerful. Total exhaust is not loud at all and sound very smooth clean refined. With Hooker Blackheart catted/resonated fp and Borla Catback

Since the Borla catback moves the muffler up near the drive shaft there is a big Void where my HKS legamax suitcase or style muffler was.

So I made a cheap wind blocker in that space with some coroplast
