Default Which is the better header


Is the greddy 4-2-1 header better than the dc-sports 4-1 header for a b18C Jdm.

I personally like the comptech headers myself. I plan on getting one in the near future. But right now I have a DC Sports 4-1.

The Greddy, DC, and Comptech are all outdated and have inferior flow capabilities when compared to some of the newer headers on the market, but of those options I'd take the DC with the big collector.

Depending upon budget you may want to look into SMSP, RMF, DTR, AN-R, and other headers in the same ballpark.

I personally have the Greddy header on my LS. So far its been great, it hasn't cracked or anything. The only thing that bothers me is that it blued very fast and now is a dark bronzeish color.

4-1 in theory makes more torque. 4-2-1 has better scavinging effects for high RPM.

i got a stainless steel DC 4-2-1 header, it feels pretty good. id go with this one only because you can find these on ebay for pretty cheap. i got mine for about $230 with no dents or dings. the only thing wrong with it is that it has a little rust around on the part that connects to the block, and it has a slight blue tint to it, and i dont know exactly how old the header is either...
