Default Bang for the Buck CARB Exempt Header?

like said above. im looking for a good header with good ground clearance too.
it will be for a NA build up daily driver b-series motor.

i would like a 4-1 if theres one thats carb exempt. other than that then i guess 4-2-1 header is what i have to go with. well thanks for reading and i hope u guys could help me out. i know theres alot of brands out there but want to know whats best for my money.

is there a chart / dyno testing on street headers on HT? if theres is could you link or post it thanks...

I would like to know this as well. I live in an area with a lot of cops and right now I'm stuck with a shitty DC 4-1 header on my built LS/VTEC.

I believe that Comptech makes a header that is carb exempt, but I believe it's 4-2-1 sould make better HP than your DC 4-1. Or you can drop in a OEM ITR header, dirt cheap with good gains, better than your 4-1 DC... I hope that Iam of some help to both you guys good luck...

anything carb will need to be really 4-2-1

the 4-1 ones aren't carb legal

thats what i thought too first but then i saw some ads saying that it is carb legal.

im still researching though.. thanks for your input. theres alot of replic 4-2-1 and 4-1 jdm headers...so im still searching for one. for example megan, air mass, dc, jdm **** header, etc...to many to list... thats all.
