im sure im going to get nailed for this but im in the market for new headers and im not sure what the differences are between 4-1 and 4-2-1 headers. meaning like pros and cons of each.

 

All you have to do is search. There has been a tremendous amount of attention devoted to different header designs and their virtues. Basically, I'd suggest picking the best header you can afford, rather than getting hung up on the tubing configuration. A good 4-1 header will completely outperform a poorly designed 4-2-1 header, and vice versa. However, one thing that is somewhat universal is the fact that 4-1 headers generally offer less ground clearance, which will likely not be an issue unless your car is exceptionally low.

 

previous owner has a 2" drop on the car. Would this be a huge issue if i were to buy new headers?

 

Probably not, depending on the header. What is your budget?

 

as long as its under 400 ill take a look at anything
anything recomendations?

 

Yeah, don't bother worrying about the tubing configs, just get a header that is of good quality, and you will not be disappointed (unless you've got your hopes up for some serious power)

Oh, and before any of the ******** come in and say anything real mean, go into each one of your posts and, wherever you have referred to an inline four header (singular) as headers (plural), correct that pesky little misconception. You'll get trolls like a bitch if you don't get rid of the evidence.

 

LOL oops didnt even think about that haha
