Headers, which is better?
Wednesday, March 16, 2005 8:18 PM
Ok my Q isn't what company its which style. A 4-1 or a 4-2-1? And what is the differance in power "better here worst there". Just a Q but I really do need to know.

Another Q is OBX a bad header? I am thinking about one but why do you guys not like or do like them?

4-1 is more for top end, 4-2-1 is more for lower end. obx is a fine brand.

our engines have plenty of down low torque, so really a 4-2-1 is not necessary.

Hey, ya but then again a 4-2-1 header is gonna give you the power when you need it for normal driving right? (normal driving is around 2500 - 3000rpm so a 4-2-1 header will give you more power when you floor it at that RPM right? Whereas a 4-1 header will basically not be noticable unless you drive around at 5000rpm right?) That's just what I've heard, that a 4-2-1 header is better unless you only race your car, but if you commute with your car too, then a 4-2-1 is better. Am I correct?

Basically, however the 2.2 has a lot of torque to begin with so the 4-1 wouldnt be a huge decrease in low end torque. But by what you are looking to get out of it the 4-2-1 seems to be what you want.
