Default header choices...

im about to buy a header and im undecided as to which to get... a 4-1 or a 4-2-1
they both are nice..
i think im leaning towards 4-1..
i guess what im askin is ... is there anyone out there who has tried both and which one was more "fun"!

thanks..

Honda's basically use there power in the high rpm range, that is there good power band. So a 4-1 header would be a good choice my friend

there are a lot of factors in deciding what you should get, 4-1 will give you better top end but sacrificing lower and middle a bit. if your lowered, 4-1's also tend to hang a lot lower and will scrape more often. Here's a couple good sites for you to look at.

I bought a DC sports 4-1 about a month ago, and out all of the parts I have put on my car (98' ex) I have felt the most power gains, my third gear pulls like crazy now.

im not lowered.. not sure if i want to be either... i have apexi ws and its low enough as is..... lol
i have a cai.. im giong to get a zex 53900 after header...
Its a d16z
and eventually i plan on up my piston compression
so that will raise my lower power band right?
well itll up the whole damn thing
i appreciate all the responses..

has anyone tried both types of headers?
