4-2-1 and 4-1 headers

[eclipse13]

What is the signifigance of 4-2-1 VS 4-1. Is one better that the other? Is one better for low end torque and the other better for high end power? help a brother out.

you already figured it out, one's better for low end and the other is better for top. Both are better than stock manifold.

4-1= top end power 4-2-1= low end power

4-2-1 is good because most of our nt's have no balls on the low end

Ain't that the truth... I pulled the manifold cover( you know the silver one) And I found a huge crack and a big ass hole I didn't even know I had( would have never known) But because I bought my header and was getting ready to install it I found it. So to the guys running stack manifolds for the time being pull the cover and check.

the cover is the heat shield. 4-2-1 is better for low end and 4-1 is for top end (as someone previously stated) i currently have 4-1 b/c i felt i had pretty good low end, after i installed it (it was after i hda my cat take n out too) i really felt it at around 3k hwere the revs would shoot up quicker, i like them n good luck on the install
