The header type (4-2-1 vs 4-1) doesn;t have as much to do with your tranny as it does with where you want the power. The 4-2-1 puts it throughout the band while the 4-1 is only low end. So the 4-2-1 would be good for a manual tranny if you plan on doing more than just dragging. Like autocross or any other type of non 1/4 mile type racing.

 

no, odessit is right. i've been trying to tell everyone this for a while too...

the TYPE of transmission has more to do with your headers than anything

 

Well if anyone has some specs 4-2-1 and 4-1 header differences please post it up!

 

Ultratibby Ihave a auto and a 4-1 header. It gives the auto more umf at the higher rpm's as I imagine it would for the manual which is where you want it. If you want to I will even trade my 4-1 for your 4-2-1. Just let me know. I have noticed a difference with it.

 

4-1 gives you good top end and 4-2-1 gives you good mid range
and when you have manual tranny you usually stay in high rpms and you would need 4-1 header to have more power
4-2-1 would be good for auto-xing smile.gif

 

I'm glad someone cleared that up I was always under the assumption that 4-1 is better in the higher rpm range oops.gif Good thing

 

i have a 4-2-1 on my tibby... and i have a manual tranny. see the point behind mine is i dont do much "racing" around here.... just playing around and such... this mod was more for looks than anything truthfully! im a sad sad person laugh.gif

1000TH POST BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

but your assumption was right....

 

Yes I thought I knew that but with all this talk about 4-2-1 and 4-1 headers I was confuzzled.

 

i have a 4-2-1 and full cat back on my 04 elantra its loud as all h*ll and buzzez like a mother unless im steppin on it
