does a header means a difference on a d16y8?

what the differences between a 4-2-1 and a 4-1 header, and one piece and 2 piece?

also which brand is good?

thx

 

4-2-1 is generally 2 piece, while 4-1 is usually 1 piece, correct me if im wrong?? the 4-2-1 is for those of us who drive the sohc civics, it helps with low end power... the 4-1 is better for dohc civics for the same reason there... basically for different applications. i myself am sporting a 2-piece dc replica 4-2-1 SS header.

 

where did you get the replica?

 

i purchased it on ebay. it stood out as DC replica 4-2-1 SS header. i compared it to a real one at a nearby import shop, and it was amazingly identical. just some slight differences, nonetheless i was pleased.

 

the headers will provide better results when mated with an intake and exhaust.

 

true that... im waiting to do my mini-me swap before i get my intake, my muffler will go on when i have the time.

 

this is the setup i have now, aem cai, catback exhast from beyond the cat. if i get the header, do i need to replace the cat as well?

thx

 

i would go with a dc sports 4-1 ceramic 1 peice header. you do not need to replace the cat unless you have a dx lx or cx where the cat is built in the stock exhaust manifold.

 

i/h/e won't do much on a d16, i had it on my 00 ex for a while, didn't get much power from them, beat a few teg ls's and got bored so then i went nitrous, beat a few ludes, wrx, and type r's then that got boring...turbo is the way to go, once i get my wastegate working i'm gonna go s2000 hunting

 

what does SS stardard for in this phrase" DC replica 4-2-1 SS header" ?

also is it noticable for a header replacement?

thx
