whats the diff in headers?

[strodda]

what areas are hp/torque gained by a 4-2-1 or a 4-1??


also, what are some mods that can be done to a car with automatic, to increase performance? if it matters i have a 91 accord. all i have is a muffler, race cat and a shortram intake. i have a cai sitting in the garage but im too damn lazy to drill and take the bumper off.

not to sure about the headers, all i know is that i noticed
alot more throttle response when i got my dc 4-2-1s (on 2.2)


sounds like u could use a superchip, too

The 4-1 header is designed to give you power in the very high rpm range. The 4-2-1 header is designed to give you power in the low-medium rpm range, which is much more usefull on the street. If you bought a 4-1 header, your stock motor in your application would be nearly redlined before you noticed some or any of the benefits. Go with the 4-2-1.

As far as improving the performance of a car with an auto-tranny, look into buying a level 10 torque converter. I'm not sure if they make one for your car, but if they do it would be a big improvement. I'm not sure where to purchase one, but I'm sure someone will reply to this post with a link.

ok... now is there any difference between ceramic coated and chrome? ive looked around in the past, and even on ebay, the dc 4-2-1 seems to be what im seeing the most of. but is one of the two going to produce less heat or is it just for visual affects?

[easternxtreme]

the ceramic coated will run a little cooler
plus the ceramic is much cheaper.
however, the chrome will probably keep its
finish longer

easternxtreme- how do you like your apexi ws exhaust, i have one too, i was wondering if a header might make my exhaust a tad louder? Is yours loud enough for you?
