whats the difference?
4-2-1 and 4-1

 

That means the way the pipes are laid out

4 goes into 2 then into 1

or

4 goes into 1

 

yea i know that but whats the difference? sound? performance?

 

Well, that will be more specific to the setup.

As a general rule, you can make better power down low with a 4-2-1 setup.

 

so 4-2-1 will give me more power before 5000 rpms? will it lessen the after 5000 rpm power wehn the torque kicks in?

 

156 @ 5250 rpm is your total torque for a stock h22a4 motor.

I think what he means is that 4-2-1 headers is better for DD applications and 4-1 headers are better for something like a Track Car

Firstly, that would be peak torque, not total torque, wtf is total torque?

Secondly, not necessarily. All of the nicest headers out there right now are 4-2-1, when RMF was making Honda stuff, he was the only one making 4-1s.

My bad total torque, I guess I meant peak, but due to my limited vocabulary I chose the word total.
