OK guys/gals, I'm looking to put headers on my car (1994 BONE STOCK Si) and I wanted to ask you guys what you use. Now, with that said, I only really want to know what your personal experiences are, not what you have heard your sister' cousin's boyfriend saw who knew the car builder on the Fast and The Furious. Here's what I am wondering:

1) Which headers should I use? 4-2-1 or 4-1? One piece or two? Powder Coated or chrome?

When I had my 1992 Si, I had powder coated 4-2-1 two-piece DC Sports headers and I loved them, well that is until the welds started cracking. (I know this has nothing to do with the powder coat) Just as DC Sports was about to replace them my car got totaled. Any of you guys/gals have experienced anything like this?

Thank you in advance for your time!

4-1 for all high end HP and 4-2-1 is more for torque, low-mid HP which is prolly better for non high HP motors

 

these are no brand header.
made in china.
wont last

 

4-2-1......is never better

 

u really shouldnt get any of those, ebay headers all suck

 

What header do you non-turbo guys have then? I can't afford the super-duper badass brand and I could care less if I pay another $150 just to get a slight difference in horsepower.

We're talking middle of the road here.

 

megan racing header.

 

How long have you had it? How much did you pay?

 

dc sports. the price on them has gone down significantly in the last few years. goin with dc sports is ur best bet. im currently running a dc 421, but plan on switchin it out for a dc 41 for more high end power. i have a b16 and all my power is in the high end. good luck mang.

 

Yeah, when I bought my first Set of DC Sports back in '97 and they were like $350 from Hondasport. Any of you guys remeber Hondasport?

 

i have the 4-1 dc powder coated on my b16 and i have no problems when i first put them on i noticed a slight diff at 7000 rpm but once 8000 came up it was noticable i prefer the 4-1 for high end .....just my opinion.

...you cant go wrong there...

 

If your car is bone stock, I would consider going with a 4-2-1. Since it is stock you'll probably notice more on the low-end for the most part.

 

anybody here had a chance to try out greddy sus headers? picked up a pair for my d16z6... havent put them on yet

 

bump on greddy

 

yeah but one thing nobody's seeming to realize is not everybody has 400 bucks to go out and buy DC sports headers, sometimes the cheapass e-bay ones have to suffice

 

i have a 2 piece 4-2-1 jg edelbrock header on my gsr made a very noticable difference

 

when ur dealing with what, 190 hp? Some stupid **** like that? from a GSR, yeah, the header'll make a diff, his bone stock SI might make less of diff
