Save your money, time, and a LOT of greif. Dont buy from Megan. They suck.

A header is an important part. Dont skimp on it. Get a good one. DC Sports isnt much better btw, nor is OBX. If youre spending less than $300 on a new header, or $225 on a used one, chances are is aint that great. I went with a JDM ITR 4-1 header with a 2.5" collector. Cant go wrong with OEM honda. I paid 250 shipped.

I had an OBX. I wouldnt wish that peice of shit on anyone.

but what is the diff from 4-1 4-2-1

and i know its the piping but but the diff in hp and torq on the power band

Don't worry about the difference because today's 4-2-1 headers offer the best of both worlds. What's more important is that you have a 2.5" collector.

DONT BUY MEGAN!! They dont match the ports at all and have small ass primaries...Get a dc 4-1 JDM 2.5 collector header. Thats if you drive like I do...You will lose low end (driving around town) power but when you just putting around you dont need all that power, you'll still get around just fine. I mean the only time you get on it is when you race really or need to pass and you'll be up in the powerband. I have used both and prefer 4-1 personally. But if your engine is not tuned very much ie no higher compression or porting just get a 4-2-1. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM MEGAN..horrible headers. But if you want one I'll sell you mine that I ported out to match stock gsr ports. While I fixed the ports you cant fix the small primaries. No dents at all.

Honda tech. Hold out and find one without dents. Mine was in mint shape.

Id also recommend a fastline skidplate. 1/4" sheet of aluminum that protects the header from dents.
