Got my header installed today *review*

[98_silvergs]

As the thread title says. Here's a small review on it. It's an HP 4-1 Header.

After reading numerous threads about people getting a header on there 420A and how there exhaust sounds so much better than before. I will say i didn't notice the tone of it change one bit, it sounds exactly the same, but sounds a little more agressive when doing 40mph then punching it. When it's idling or just taking off it sounds the same to me.

Alot of people also say that you will lose low end with the 4-1 style, i also didnt notice any loss with it. It takes off the same as before, but it has alot more high end kick. Even though my car is a slow automatic, this header did improve my high end by a decent amount. I will say i'm satisfied with it, and if you're gonna mod your 420A, i say a header is worth it.

Here is a couple pics.

The header doesn't have any resonators in it and there's not really alot of other things that will change the tone of the exhaust. The difference at high RPM is probably due to the higher volume and or velocity of air being expelled from the exhaust now. Nice install, congrats on the improvement.

I'm I blind or wut? ×_×

Where is the Turbo bro?

Anyways congrats on your new mod!
I'm also getting a header intalled on mine soon...
does your car have a good noticeable faster acceleration now?


Only thing tho, Is there any dif. Btwn 4-2-1 to 4-1 ?

This has just been knocking in my head!

The turbo thing was just a joke.

As for the differences in the styles of the header.

4-2-1 = Gain low end, lose high end

4-1 = Gain high end, lose low end

I didnt notice a loss at all in the low end with the 4-1, but did notice a great increase in high end.

i have a greddy 4-1 header and i noticed a difference. i also just have a test pipe and no cat, but their is definately more power in the low to mid range in my car. i have a lil to no top end power with my car, but its a 5spd. good luck with your header man.

I think you should still change your car in your profile, it could come back to bite you in the arse.
