4-2-1 is for low to mid power. 4-1 is for high end power

you need to look at header designs...you can make a 4-1 that makes mad low end but then again it will restrict your top end and vice versa...you have to look and see where your car spends most of its time or else you could be just spending usless money...

A 4-2-1 has more ground clearance...look at Hytech or the replicas for a great header

Do you have a V8 in there that requires two headers? LOL

I say go with a 4-2-1 design.

no. you have a singular header. if you had 4 individual pipes coming off each cylinder exiting on their own then you could say you had headers. but all the pipes connect with each other hence, header.

and back on topic.
