hey i want to buy a header for my EL

whats better for this car a 4-1 or 4-2-1
the 4-1 is stainless

stainless is better, cos it's lighter, n look prettier;)
n i prefer 421 style cos d16y8 doesn't have much low-mid range torque, i'd rather have more of that, n have more peak hp n less mid-range with 4-1 style
imo:)
btw where u from?
i'm interested at buying an header for my el as well

4-2-1 is better. You get constant power flow. 4-1 is more drag applications.

for stainless steal, I prefer ceramic. Only because of the heat transfer. Stainless will heat up faster and doesn't carry as much the heat away from your engine. So, you air intake takes in more hot air. A ceramic one keeps most hot exhaust gases from escaping, thus cooler engine.

What kind/brand of header are you getting? I've got a 4-2-1 DC Sports ceramic 1 piece on mine.

I like the look, because its clean, smooth looking.
I like the power flow. There's no feel of lag or hesitation. Even if you drive at a lower gear you can still pull away. I mean I love it when I'm driving 60 in 4th gear and still pull away without down shifting.
I'm overall impressed with it.
As for mods....basic Intake, header, exhaust ...hehehe! :D :D

4th gear at 60 is around 2500rpm rite?
