What opinion about these

Body Spacer

The idea is to extend in 1 " the camera of admission, by means of a flange of aluminum that must have the same dimensions of the body of acceleration. With this modification more torque is obtained in falls rpm, rapid acceleration, an additional propulsion in the transitions of the throttle closed to open sea. It is like the effect air lung that is used in instrumentation. When I proved the spread one I installed it without many fé, but on having lit the engine the difference feels, the changes of march are more agressive.

Everyones statements are correct above. But what all do you have done to your car. A 4-2-1 header builds more compression than a 4-1 so depending if your NA or BOOSTED really plays a big role.

4-2-1 is better ALL throughout the powerband. 4-1 aims for mainly high end power with expense of low end. Although it has nothing to do with the transmission, automatics spend more of their revving time in mid RPMs then a manual, thusly a 4-2-1 would work better with one

So if I have a manual transmission, NA, are both going to do better than the stock setup everywhere on the powerband?

^ No, not necessarily. A crap header design, regardless of whether it's 4-1 or 4-2-1, could very well lose power.

A good 4-1 header with correctly sized, long equal-length primaries will have a good spread across the whole rev-range (but mainly top-end). These are traditionally the preferred choice for manual tranny cars.

I don't know many people with tri-Y headers (4-2-1) & have never seen a definite dyno on them so I can't really comment on them... That said, loads of people on these forums have them & seem to be fairly happy with them fing02.gif

As someone said above, you wouldn't need to consider headers or header design with a turbo setup but you can get 4-2-1 turbo manifolds.

By general consensus then, it sounds like a 4-2-1 seems like the better choice for a daily driver.
