Getting a 4-2-1 Header for low end torque on A B16

What is the best header for ground clearance that works with A/C?
I wanted a 4-1 design but I dont think I will get it due to poor clearance.
I think I'll choose a 4-2-1 design since I heard they have better clearance and at least I can get low end torque.

I cant find a stock B16 Header for sale. I heard they are the best for performance unless you want to spend $600-800 on a Hytech header etc.

So I heard ebay headers suck, but I also heard some are good because some ebay vendors use the same material as vendors such as DC etc. I also heard that you are just paying for a brand name if you want to buy a 200 dollar DC header because you can get the same one for $100 for a QUALITY ebay one. I have a ebay one that came with the car and one part of it has cracked, which is common in cheap ebay headers.


Im going to buy a header guard so I dont scrape or dent whatever header

Personally I LOVE megan products. I have used them on all of my honda's in the past and have never had any troubles

I deleted the part about possibly getting a megan header. I did some research and their ground clearance is worse than DC.

Have you looked at any of Kidd Racing's knock off headers?

I saw some reviews of a 4-1 kidd racing header and they said the ground clearance was not good.

So Im going to install Tein - S Tech springs. Do you think I can have a 4-1 header with this set up? Or should I go with a 4-2-1 design for better clearance.

I had skunk2 springs and I ran over a 3X3X3 block of cement that dented my header. ( I had no choice it was on a small one lane with grass to my sides due to dumb construction)

you should have no issue with either choice, there is technique behind driving lowered cars :wink:
