Hey guys! =] I drive a b16a 98 Civic SiR. I was just deciding on what kind of headers I should use, a 4-2-1 or a 4-1? I know the difference between both, but I just wanted to know what you guys think would be best, or which you like better for a car like mine, based on your experiences. Your feedback will help a lot, so I hope you can give some tips.

Thanks a lot.

i would definitely get a one piece.. and it depends on what you're looking to get out of it. typically a 4-1 will give you more gains in the higher rpm's. 4-2-1 are supposed to give more mid-range gains. a race header will give you the most power. alot of them are staged (runners get larger the further down they go), but not a good idea if you want to keep your catalytic converter.

 

did depends on how much you want to spend and are you planning on staying n/a.
i prefer one piece 4-1 ...and if your going to stay n/a, i would save some money and get a better quality header( hytech,mugen,etc.etc.)

 

oh there are such things as a one piece and a two piece? whats the difference?

the two-piece is like the factory style- the header goes from 4 runners into 2 at the mid-flange, and then into one where the header meets the catalytic converter. a one-piece header is just as it sounds... the mid-flange is eliminated, and the whole header is one piece all the way to the converter

 

1 piece is the way to go and I'm a big fan of the bronze colored JDM DC Sports head, pure sex!

 

just save the money now.

Then go ramhorn, when you have the funds to complete the set-up haha.

 

Haha I think he's wanting to stay NA! A stainless steel DC Sports 1 piece 4-1 header should be fine.

 

4-1 FTW

 

haha yea I really was planning on going for the 4-1. I just wanted to see what you guys could say about it.

Thanks a lot for the help guys
