Ok, I read and heard so much different thing about headers... I was about to buy a DC 4 in 1 for my GSR but I heard that I could lost in the low-mid... I then changed my mind for a 4-2-1... Apparently I will lost in the top end... What the /"$?%?%!!! is the truth, or should I check for an other brand... I shop for a Spoon just to find out about the price and it's 3 times more expensive... Is it worth the difference? I want to hear you on these one cause I'm planning to install one very soon but I'm really confuse...

 

the jdm itr comes with a 4-1 for the reason that honda's make little torque but high horsepower up top. when redlining gears you are higher up in the powerband so go with a 4-1

 

some of the really expensive 4-2-1 setups make a compromise between the two. modest gains in both the midrange and the high rpm range, but these are very expensive. Spoon is probably one of those companies that makes them hence the price.

 

u got to factor this in also, 4-1 sits very low to the ground, might dent that header....

 

yes that is true, on my DA integra i have a 4-2-1 header for better ground clearence but since im dropped 2 inches one of my tubes are dented so there is no way i could use a 4-1

 

Well mine is drop 1.75 inch so I guess I have no choice... 4-2-1... I don't like trouble!

Ok but with a 4-2-1, I know I will gain in low-mid, but will I lose on the top or i'll keep all my hp in the vtec?? I don't want to feel a drop of power when the vtec come on at 5750!

I also know that Spoon use to built a two pieces header and that you could by only the 4-2 keeping your o.e. 2-1 from the stock gsr... But unfortunatly I heard it was discontinuish....
