BETTER PERFORMANCE:DC Headers 4-1 or 4-2-1?

[HontegraGSI]

whats the difference between the 4-1 and 4-2-1 headers? from what i heard 4-2-1 headers give more low-end performance and 4-1 give A LOT of high-end performance. but compared to the two... whats better? is there a big difference between the two, or do you feel the difference no matter what?

you'll feel a difference from stock, but if you are building a street racer then go with the 421 if you have more of a track queen go with the 41

yeah....but on another note..if you want performance dont get a DC, there good for show, but they suck for power !!! You need to get yourself into a Greddy, Comptech, or late model ITR depending on what kinda car you have...
DC's just dont preform.. yeah there better than stock, but not as good as the rest, i know people that have swapped thier DC's for Greddy or so forth and have noticed an immediate diff. ...just thought id let you know your wasting your money on a name thats all

get a 4-2-1 if you have a sohc, 4-1 if you have a dohc vtec.

What about a DOHC non-VTEC (like a ZC)?

4-2-1
The 4-1 design is great above 6500-7000rpms - dohc vtec turf
