Whatt's the difference in the OBX 4-1 Header and the OBX 4-2-1 Header.

And noticeable gains?

Pros/Cons?

Simply curious because I plan on buying my header at the end of the week. (If not today.) And I've been doin' a small bit of research and came up empty, so I figured I would ask some guys around here.

The only thing about the 4-2-1 Header is that it's a better fit from the O2 sensor to fit into the opening, but that's about it.

All help is greatly appericated before I drop 200 bucks.

4-2-1 I'll explain why when I see you next. $200 that's nothing for a high roller like you.

Oh I know, hence why I may hold out for a Stillen instead, lol.

4-2-1 headers sacrifice a little high end HP for more midrange. 4-1 sacrifice a little in the midrange to gain a little more on the top end. On a stock motor most people can't tell the difference between the two. If you can feel your car well you may notice a little difference.

Um, no. For what you buy a stillen header for you could get an OBX header, cat back, and an ebay special cold air intake, and still have enough left over to buy me a beer. I was just going to wait to tell you when I saw you that a 4-2-1 would work better with your ******tic transmission

SHHH! Don't say that out loud!

BTW, you need to give me a call so I can buy you that beer!

I'm going to agree with everything you've said so far, except about the Stealin, er um, Stillin header.

You need a trans oil cooler, you're going to start beating on your car more now that it'll be able to get out of it's own way soon. Your exhaust is going to sound like poo with just a header, FYI.

Yeah, I know about the exhaust sounding like shit, but in due time my dear Justin, in due time, BTW, I need Mitchells number so I can find out where the party is going to be at on Saturday.
