Exhaust 4-1 or 4-2-1 better ?

The 2 types of headers will have a different torque curve (assuming it is a header that is specially design for your ride and is dyno tested)

 

In both cases, due to the freer flowing properties of the header, more torque and power can be achieved compared to the stock cast iron headers.

 

4-1 : The max torque and power will arrive higher up in the rpm range. Not for auto tranx cars as your gear box is not able to take advantage of the higher torque since it will shift around the same rpm range as your stock header. If your car is a fire-throwing sweatdrop.gif manual VTEC, by all means.

 

4-2-1: The max torque will arrive lower in the rpm. Thus it is more suitable for city driving.

 

Depends on your needs.

 

My 2 cents worth

Hello Torquelover,

 

Juz curious, most original saloon cars are fixed with 4-1, right?

 

I am driving an auto car, thought of fixing aftermarket 4-1 and enlarge exhaust piping (a little [:p] )so as not to get too much attention during inspection.... [sweatdrop] . Maybe u r right [scholar] , i better do some research b4 changing.

 

Cheers

if your car is an auto, do more research and get the better brands of aftermarket's. at least they would have done some R&D. some auto cars lose both high and low after changing
