Default dc sports 4-1 or 4-2-1

i wanted to know which would be better
as i have a guy who selling his 4-1 for 125$ ceramic
but was wondering if i should get a brand new 4-2-1
i hear 4-2-1 are better for daily street use?any sugg. or comments?
the 4-1 looks in great shape i could prob get him down to 100
should i go with that it sounds like a good deal for a dc.

how low is your car? i think the main difference is the 4-1 hangs lower than a 4-2-1 as there is 4 pipes underneath rather than 2. if your car is super low you might drag the 4-1 all over the place.

4-2-1 will get you the power in the range where its usable to a daily driven but an 4-1 will get you the most gain.

For me I'll get the 4-1 header, because I plan to drag at the track every once in awhile.

im sure a full cat back would be needed to get the full effect of the header so i was also researching into that as well but havent decided on greddy or hks.

Apexi WS is a chambered muffler, so it is not going to flow that great. That's the reason it is quiet though. Make sure that your final decision on what parts to buy should be based on the future plans for your car.
