ive just always wanted to know the diff...is one designed for maximum torque and the other for high end horsepower? or what? what is better for my D16y8? 4-2-1 or 4-1? thx in advance

 

search dood

 

i did, and found a bunch of other header jargon, but nothing answering my ? plz someone tell me the diff. thanks

 

I think this is what most people would say:

4-1 is better in the high-end

4-2-1 is better in the low-end

most common answer

 

yup yup

 

blaa not really true. if you look at DTR smp and other companies like that they all have 4-2-1. its all about which header you get not the style

 

theres just sometimes where ya hafta say it....search, and if the info doesn't specifically pertain to your question, you'll learn along the way until you find your answer. tons of info on header designs.

 

alright well thanks guys, i guess i now need 4-2-1 becuase i need some help in the lowend department. anyway thanks.

 

i think you need help in all dept. with your y8 j/k

 

i thought 4-1 was midrange and 4-2-1 was lower and higher...

 

go to kingmotorsports.com mugen did research on the 4-1 and 4-2-1 headers on various hondas, you can read for yourself there..

this is the most common answer but is not necessarily true....... i've seen dyno charts where the dc sports 4-1 made more power across all rpms than the dc sports 4-2-1..........
