headers

[in54n3 w4yn3]

hello everyone, I'm new to these fourms and fairly new to the world of import car engine mods. I was just wondering if there's a difference between 4-2-1 headers and 4-1 headers. What, if any, is the performance differance, and which do you recommend?

4-2-1 headers seem to improve low end power better than high end power and 4-1 headers improve high end power more but i've heard that they can cause you to lose low end power.
i personally would go with a 4-2-1 header

4-2-1 headers r better i think, they give u more torque n bottom end power

Reality Check: You drive a Honda, you don't have low end power anyway I'd go with a 4-1, gives you more reason to take it to redline

Everyone here is always 4-2-1, 4-2-1. Trying to make up power where Honda 's lack. Why not improve on where the power lies instead?

4-1

I swear, every time I post the pic of my header some one always says it's a 4-2-1. It's a 98 Spec JDM ITR 4-1 header!!!! Do your homework. I can pic that shit out by just seeing the OEM heatshield in an engine bay.

Wow can someone say Dumba** n00b. Before making dumbass comments why don't you people actually study up. Question of the day........." why post sh*t if you have no damn idea wtf you're talking about? " Don't take it personally. I wasn't just reffering to you alone. I was reffering to dumbsh*t's like you in general.

You know, honestly I was not serious but the more you post the more you guys look like idiots. I clearly stated here that it is my 98 spec JDM ITR header. That means in n00b terms that it is and OEM Honda exhaust manifold that comes on the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) ITR (Integra Type R). If you look on www.inlinefour.com you can get a better idea on what it is. So you ask what brand it is......HONDA. Many enthusiasts here will vouch for the fact that what I am stating is not BS and the flow characteristics is better than many USDM (United States Domestic market) headers due welds and the larger 2 1/2 inch collector. The same design specs on this OEM factory component are used on " race headers " you will find on many sites. So to answer your question, yes you guys are the dumbshits.
