4-2-1 for low end torque and 4-1 for top end power
u wont pick up too much power tho man. maybe 10 kw maxx
just helps the engine flow better

i would say 4-2-1 for daily driving sprints, gain more low-mid range.
4-1 if your a track whore.
lol.

so it depends what you want from em.

i recently got some 4-1 headers - i reckon they are they best mod ive done to the car so far. after 4000rpm it pulls so much harder!

also i didnt really notice any loss of bottom end. if i did it was really minimal. this is with a hi flow cat and 2.25 inch cat back.

but yeh i wouldnt mind trying a set of 4-2-1 and see what the difference is.

it really all depends on your engines needs! the b16 (with mods) performs best with 4-1 on a general basis! However, if you have $1600 usd you can acquire an assortment of different independant huge name us Specialists to tailor to your specific needs. large sums of $ provides you with more options available for custom units which will ofcourse remind you that you get what you pay for. I guess we'll save, heat coatings and wraps for another time. you get the idea but.

:thumbsup: good idea for a beginner to intermediate (EXH) system. that's what i'm using at the moment. it's Almost a dead knock off of skunk 2 cat back as far as tone and power production. i would recommend that you at least give this setup a go. i'm quite pleased with it. "Also" any future mods will benefit from adding this system.

you can play with cfm flow, exhaust pulse, scavenging, etc later on down the track if you want a 100% tuned race car. i guarantee you will appreciate this mod and the cost effectiveness it brings. just be sure not to slap a fart can on it m8. otherwise your local cops will make you their new girlfriend!

Cheerz, :cool:

Headers are not for turbo motors. Turbo Manifolds are for turbo motors.

depends on the main purpose of urself, for me, i will choose 4-2-1 rather 4-1, cos of daily purpose use, but 4-1 must have better top-end power than 4-2-1.
