421>41 for low-to-lower-midrange, 4-1>421 for high midrange and beyond.

Well a 2 piece is (in most cases) easier to install than a 1 piece. A one piece you really have to wiggle and wiggle to get the header in sometimes, whereas a two piece you attach one part to the block then the 2nd piece to the 1st.

Flow on a one piece is better of course so you should get 1-5 more hp.

The first header does. Additional headers dont give any more gains.

The 2nd header gives you a smile when you stuck in traffic.
