i was just wondering how much if at all a new header would change my exhaust tone? and if any one knows where i can find a damn 4-1 header for my ls i need more top end power damn it !!!

On my 95 LS my exhaust got louder and sounded a little different. I got a DC Sports 4-1 Header off ebay (brand new) for 214.99. Check out there.

you are so lucky ive been checking ebay every day for 4-1 headers but the only header for my ca ris a 4-2-1 and damn it i want a 4-1 so bad i can almost feel it

4-1 is decent but low end really suffers. It is a great upgrade from the rattling stock log manifold. There was a little difference in sound but not really very noticeable.

ok so if i go 4-1 header it takes away from the lower end power? is that what ur saying

Snoopy

yes. but hondas dont have very much low end power anyways so whats it matter?

FWIW, I run the 2pc 4-2-1 header from DC Sports, and I love it. It was so much easier to fit than a 1pc and the mid-range torque is very nice when passing on the highway.

I also ran an exhaust cobbled together from parts held over from my last car, but the power increase was definitely noticeable. I am switching to an Apexi WS2 next week, as I've abandoned my plans to turbocharge the DC.

In short, I'd go with the 2pc 4-2-1 for daily driving. It shouldn't be viewed as a big compromise over the 4-1, IMHO.

Oh and the exhaust note with the header isn't louder, but it has a beautiful complex symphony now... Think of a mid 60's Alfa Romeo 4 cyl and you're getting close.
