4-2-1 would give you a more even powerband and maybe 2-3whp ....

yay for N/A SOHCs

I have 4-2-1 and when I got it my head work and a tune they told me I could get an additional 5 hp at the topend if I got 4-1 with a 2.5 collector. so I suggest the 4-1

Pretty much. A 4-2-1 will be more enjoyable on the street with stop and go traffic.

Exactly. I/H/E is a WASTE!
That money can be put together to atleast piece together most of a turbo set up.

that's too bad, you'll be missing out on a lot of fun and when you say you're going to swap a motor I'm assuming you'll probably go b16a and a boosted d16 will raped a b16a..sooooooooooooooo expletive you

I think you + life = retarded.


I'd suggest a 4-2-1. They offer the most ground clearance, are easiest to put on, and give a SOHC the same noticable amount of power (as in 0whp).

GT28RS'd SOHC FTW

Ha let the disappointment arrive..
A swapped b series is NOT fast.
A boosted d would make you much happier.
