DC Header (YES, I've searched) 4-2-1 vs. 4-1
O.K. Yes, this has been covered before. BUT there are many dynos here:
http://www.dcsports.com/99SiDyno.html
While they are for the Si, I will be putting the EX header on my CX hatch.
Yes, I know I lose my cat. Anyway, the general quick answer has always been
get the 4-2-1 if you want torque, get the 4-1 if you want power up high, but no torque gain down low or in the midrange.
These dyno's don't 100% support this. I'd expect them to look much different.
It amlost seems like you'd want to go w/ 4-1 as it amlost makes power over the 4-2-1 everywhere in the power band. Yes, even in the MIDRANGE!
Hmmm....any thoughts from the guru's out there?
I'm probably going to go w/ the 4-2-1, as I don't really have any CX dynos to base it off of, but this just makes me curious. Wish I had the money to get both and dyno both.
Thanks guys.

Since when does a honda need power below 3000??? I like the 4-1 I always have.
I purchased a car with a 4-2-1 (try y) and want to replace it with a 4-1 since I cruise at 3000.
N-E-Way, you don't have to loose the cat, you can just relocate it underneath the car like the EX.
