i think 4-2-1 makes for alot better air flow than 4-1 (might bwe wrong) you should DEFINATELY get headers becuase they help for better exhaust flow.

sorry im the only one to help you right now but everyone else is busy WHORING in the OT forum.

as for the best i dunno really i used to think dc sports but now im hearing that they arent that much different from the stock headers. i know that when i get headers for my h22a im prolly going to go with neuspeed becuase ive been hearing good things about them.

thanx man... do u know where i can check on neuspeed header??? any websites??? for a decent price of course.... hahahaa thanx!

I would go witha dc sport header. They show good gains and are relatively cheap. Most the other good headers are only made for the h22. Second, I don't belive there are any 4-1 headers made for the h series engine. With 4-1 you loose low end and gain more top end.

4-2-1 good all around header for mid to top end gains
4-1 is good for top end gains

if you want to invest in dc sport headers, just send me the money and ill make sure you dont get a set.

if you want a real header, go with SMSP. they are about done developing their header for the h22.

sms, dc, stock

Ooh, those look nice. Now that I look at it, DC's aren't very different from stock at all!

the_patz · 05-22-2002, 01:53 PM

what's good?

air_max · 05-22-2002, 02:08 PM

someone needs to take a pic of the stock h23 header. It's a cast iron POS.

Did you take the cover piece off to take the picture or do you always have it off?

Yes, I know, but the design and shape of the DC looks very similar.

So which are better i heard some cheap headers crack on the edges...

How much for the installation, the installation is from underneath right...?

mgw · 05-22-2002, 06:25 PM

ok look at it this way...
ANY aftermarket header is better than stock.

just get what you think is best dont just ask us ask shops and other people too. i personally think either dc sports becuase they've been in the business for awhile or neuspeed becuase ive been hearing good things about them. and neuspeed headers use a better coating over dc sports (my ceramic dc's are rusting) im personally goin with neuspeed just to give them a try .

by the way how much do those smsp headers run for??? they look of the heezy for sheezy
