"we found a different approach to making stronger CV joints somewhat by accident."
 
To me that sounds like they found another CV cage from another vehicle that happen to fit and is a beefier part. When there discussion started highlighting secondhand parts, I was wondering if they were just cryotreating stock cages.

On that topic, I should've also included this sentence quoted from CRW/Josh:
"our CV joints are OEM parts but not everything in the CV joint can be purchased that exact way except when we make them that way.... not just a off the shelf item by any stretch."
 
The beefier cages might be from another OEM vehicle as you suggested, but maybe the cages alone wouldn't be available off-the-shelf for purchase (from whichever OEM it happens to be). I'm just guessing of course.

The driveshaft shop mentions using modified Porsche 108mm inner CVs on their MR2 axles. This could be what CRW and ATS are doing.
My mechanic's drives haft guy thought they looked like Porsche parts
