My HP 4-1 Header came with a downpipe. I'm not sure if they all do though.

i got the el cheapo pacesetter it was the cheapest i'd found. at the time i think it was $140 it came with downpipe 2.5"unfinished and actually i'm selling it now(went to turbo)

I picked up a used Pacesetter 4-2-1 for $60. For the power gains they provide, it doesn't really matter which brand you get. Whatever components it replaces, it should bolt right up. No point in selling a 4-2-1 without the 2 section.

if i get 4-1 or 4-2-1 headers for my N/T clipse and get a turbo kit later i have to switch headers?

you have allot of learning young one

you have to get a turbo manifold either 1g or 2g. 2g is bigger or go for one of those expensive tubular manifolds which is kind of a header

some of the people on this thread should be posting in the newbie section....



most all header for a 4cyl comes with the downpipe....or flexpipe as some like to call it on a non turbo. Check out ebay...for a seller names SSAUTOCHROME....I know a ton of people including myself use this header and downpipe on their non turbo. Its a real nice product.

And you cannot use a header on a turbo car. there is no place for the turbo to bolt up to. You have to get a turbo manifold specifically made for the 420a engine.

And you can only just buy a 1g or 2g turbo manifold if you have the 4g63 1g non turbo motor. If you have a second generation 420a engine then you can throw that option out of the window.

Actually, there are such things as turbo headers. They are very short and look more like a bowl of spaghetti. But they do exist. Not necessarily for every engine application but they are out there. There's really not alot of talk about them because there's alot of heat at the turbo and the header is subject to cracking alot more easily than a more solid, cast iron exhaust manifold. Not to mention there's not going to be a big enough gain in HP by using it that you can gain by twisting the boost controller up by one more pound of boost.
