Default DC Header 4-2-1 and 4-1

Which dc header gets better clearance? is it the 4-2-1 or the 4-1?

Overall with one would do me the best in power ?

Yeah dc sports isn't the best header in my opnion, definatly do some research. As for the 4-1 and 4-2-1, if you have a good amount of low end torque get the 4-1. I have a Hayame 4-2-1 and it works better that the 4-1 Dc sport I gave to my brother.

true that man!!!! I've gotten cheap ebay headers to install for customers andthe gasketsdon't even lineup with the ports. I couldn't believe the cheap quality of thoses 50.00 headers, I ended up having to trace around the gasket and remove material.

I have a generic 4-1 in my DB8 but I would want the DC one for somg purposes only. Unless there is another CARB legal header.

if you need a carb legal header. the edelbrock is probably your best bet. it's a 4-2-1 design that clears the AC, has a carb tag, fits perfectly and is higher quality and a better design than the DC.
