4-2-1 or 4-1 header??
My header has cracks on it from hittin bumps too hard when it was hella low. Now my car is higher and don't hit. I have a 4-2-1 DC header right now and I'm debating either to get a 4-2-1 again or go with a 4-1. What would you guys suggest and why. Oh BTW I have a D16 if that helps.

like he said, plus you need top end for any D-series.

yes.
these apply 99% of the time.
4-1 will add top end power and take away some low end power.
4-2-1 will add bottom end power and take away from the top end

I know a 4-2-1 would make more low end but I have never heard of it robbing power from the top end.

So now that we know 4-1 is probably the best bet for D-Series, which header is the best as far as hp/$$? Not the bisimoto or something wild that can't be used with A/C or anything.
