i already know that i'm gonna get a 4-2-1 header for my LS....i was just wondering which brand would be better to get....and does it make a difference if i get a 2piece or 1piece

 

i would say 2 piece would probably be easier to install unless you have the spce in your engine bay.

 

4-1, 1 piece, always the way to go for gains.

 

a lot of people told me to get 4-2-1 to help increase the torque curve and to get better mid-range hp

Apparently, you have never installed a header before.


I would suggest a Comptech 4-2-1 header -- best bang for the buck (as far as headers go), imho.

A few 4-1 headers will give a few more hp, but it is only for a very narrow portion of the rpm range that the gains will be higher. Remember the total area under the torque (or hp) curve is what counts -- and the Comptech will deliver the most until you step up into the Hytech-priced region.

This depends upon the flow capabilities of the head, as well as how high you intend to rev. For a relatively stock LS, the Comptech is a very good choice.

 

how much are u loookin to spend...if u can afford the comptech i would go with that ...nice gains and looks good...if u cant get sumthing cheaper such as dc sports

go with the Comptech

 

i was thinking of getting either dc sports, greddy or comptech.....does it matter if its 2pc or 1pc??

 

2 piece will be easiest to install...

 

damn comptech is expensive.....any one know where i can it for cheap.....

 

ask len, one of our sponsors, from baranco acura. He hooked me up with a good price. You might be able to find a used one for a good price. I wish they still made the mig headers instead of only tig headers. They were about $100 cheaper.

I agree. I was all set to get Comptech's MIG version, but they discontinued it. However, I have the TIG version and am very happy with the product.

 

iight thanks guys!!!

 

yea definately get the 4-2-1...if you cant afford the comptech, get the greddy or the dc sports. make sure you get SS though if you get the dc sports.
