Default 4-2-1 or 4-1

I've been looking at alot of headers lately and i can't decide which one to get. the 4-1 gives more top end power so i guess that means that the 4-2-1 gives power all across the power pand. and should i get one piece or two. i want to get ceramic coated that dosen't make a difference does it?

Ceramic should actually help with under hood temps a little, so go for it. I prefer the 4-2-1 just because all honda engines have is high end power, might as less add some mid range pull.

ceramic is cheaper because it heats up so ****in fast. literally seconds. and same with why i bought the 4-2-1, need some lower power. and also the 4-1 sits a bit lower. and since im lowered....i want to keep it

ok so go for the 4-2-1 and do or don't get ceramic? i was looking around on ebay and this guy had a aem short ram for sell(for $50) and he said you can buy an aftermarket cover for the air filter so it won't suck in hot engine bay air and just get some cheap pipe and make your own cai with no chance of suckin up water. anyways would the ceramic heat up the engine bay more than a stainless steel or would it keep it a little cooler. :thinking:

4-2-1

A few HP more on top end isn't worth losing low end torque.

Ceramic is your best choice. The xternal coat helps keep underhod temps down, as bakeoff mentioned, and internal coating helps keep exhaust velocities consistent (hot air moves faster than cold air). I'm thankful most import pilots don't know Holley, or thet they even make Honda parts... Holley Airmass triple JetHot coated 4-2-1, eBay cost: $76. An identical DC Sports that was ending within two hours of mine went for $240. Got a hearty laff out of that one.

So I take it you would recommend this header? I too am looking for a good one, and $76 would be an awesome price.
