[RESOLVED] Want to buy 4-2-1's

[IIv SHaDoW vII]

I am in the market for a full exhaust for my 98. The problem is I cant find any reputable brands or companies to buy from. I want to buy full exhaust for a decent price.. Something under or around 200-300. Ebay is filled with shitty 4-1 flanged type claiming to be 4-2-1s.. I will buy nothing but 4-2-1s so dont recommend 4-1s to me.. I've been there, done that. I was going to buy some pacesetter but I cant be sure the vendors I found were 4-2-1 designs or 4-1.. The pictures everyone displays show 4-2-1s but usually somewhere in the description states 4-1 flanged. If you have some 4-2-1 headers with full exhaust.. tell me where you got it!

EDIT- No intention to diss people with 4-1s, but I had 4-1s and the flange rusted and cracked over time.. NOT doing that again

A stainless steel exaust from ebay would do great! even a skunk 2 would be a cheaper than say like a HKS or Greddy.

well first the GST does not have headers! It has an Exausht Manifold. and second A stainless steel exaust from ebay would do great! even a skunk 2 would be a cheaper than say like a HKS or Greddy. now if you want to change your Exaust manifold make sure you get one that will work for your turbo.

In the first sentence of his post, it says he's buying the header for his '98 (which in his signature is a GS). And it's also why it's in the 420A subforum.

From checking the vendors area, I found that CI motorsports offers two different 4-2-1 headers, Pacesetter and DC sports. The Pacesetter might be more in the price range you were looking to spend. From what I read and saw, they are actual 4-2-1.

Headers - Exhaust - 95-99 Non Turbo 420a - Mitsubishi - CI Motorsports

WarSaw, EXACTLY what I was looking for, thanks man!!!!

greddyturbo, np man.. I can easily see how you mistook my post as if it was for my GST, after all, my sig isn't very big/noticable.

Glad I could help!

I have the DC sports header and its very nice. Everything fits perfect and looks good. Gave me a little extra power down low and mid as it should but nothing HUGE. I have a full exhaust as well so just the header I dont know about. Just so you know though that link was just the header/downpipe to the cat. That doesnt include the exhaust which you said full exhaust for $200-300. Are you wanting just the header for that price or the exhaust too for that price?

 

[IIv SHaDoW vII]

Yea I was thinking I would spend the majority on the Header and the rest on maybe an ebay setup for the cat back..

I actually dont have the header part resolved.. I emailed the company supplied in warsaw's link and FINALLY got a guy who knew what he was talkin about.. He told me the design isn't the same as in the picture and assured me the one they were selling is the 4-1 flanged type.. same as ebay. So I need to find a reputable business selling 4-2-1s.. DCs are amazing, I have a friend with the whole DC setup on his Civic. But yes I would go with DCs if they weren't so expensive. I want pacesetter because thats the ONLY other brand I can find that actually make 4-2-1s for the 95-99 420a..

Surely SOMEONE has to have these headers I am looking for.. Where'd you guys buy from?!?!?!?!? Its unbelievable how hard it is for me to find these.. I have been looking forever, its almost like they discontinued them.


EDIT- Started reading up on other 4-2-1s after my little rant.. I cant find any 95-99 Eclipse tsudo headers, but I was able to find xx-94.. Will they work as long as its for a 2.0L 420a? Thoughts on these headers?

 

[totaleclipse_05]

There are no 420a's pre-95. So no.

 

[murray1]

I wanted a 4-2-1 header but had trouble finding one as well. I ended up finally buying a tsudo header which are actually 4-1...

As for place to buy a pacesetter, there are a few different ones. The cheapest I can find right now is $180 from modern performance. Link
