i wanted to get headers for my car but i was just wondering which one is better, a 4-2-1 header or a 4-1 header?

 

if u want a race header, its 4-2-1/tri y. for 4-1 u need shorty, and then hiflow cat or test pipe. race headers are your best bet if u want power, get one with a cat delete too. guessing you have an si?

 

oh and SEARCH! noob

 

lol nice

 

redundant sentence is reduntant. race header= no cat; that's why it's called a race header, as opposed to a street header, which does have a cat and is street-legal.

 

i thought the vibrant race header came with a hi flow cat??

 

no, vibrant makes both a race header and a street header.

 

hmmmmmm

you always seem so cocky vladd

lighten up

 

haha what do you mean? i thought it was an honest question.

 

see there you go

 

you lost me... please explain. if i ever sound cocky feel free to call me out on it, it's not intentional

edit: although certain types of people do **** me off

 

in most of your posts you're very blunt and concise.

 

vibrant race header comes with either a hfc or none. i love my vibrant with no cat, sounds awesome, and a big difference. my friend has the catted version, cant even tell he changed the header

 

Yea as usual Vladd...you're wrong. Go to the Vibrant website. Their race header comes with or without a cat.

 

aww you're hurting my feelings. if it makes you feel better, the header with the cat is also listed as off-road use only on corsport's site, which explains the 'race' designation on it.

 

Anyone can call a header a "race" header.

A 4-2-1 is going to offer better power below 5000 rpms and 4-1 will offer most of it's power above 5000 rpms

Google "4-2-1 vs 4-1" and see what you get.

 

damn it vladd!!!! i was right!!!
gahh i hate you

 

you are teh winner

 

A lot of people like a 4-2-1 header because it offers more power down low, where Honda's are usually lacking. A 4-2-1 header can make a car more fun to drive stop light to stop light but for all out performance the 4-1 will offer the most power. Except 0-60, I don't know about you but I don't race my 8k rpm Honda below 5000 RPMs

 

he wants de hedders
