I I got my Bosal header installed today, I love it! It does increase the torque and makes the exhaust sound louder.

Good to hear something positive about headers for once! Especially from a fellow NA with AT. :) I might just have to look into getting headers now.

Yeah I am really happy with my header aswell. I could tell a difference when it was installed. The car felt and sounded stronger.

Hey ken, that header is the 4-2-1 correct? i was wondering what the actuall difference would be. I too like my header, I would do it again.

I love my header. It added a nice tone to the car and quieted down the raspyness on my intake, but the intake is still loud. The header makes it pull from about 3k - 5500 rpm range faster. I bought it off of a member on this board used for 130. It's a bosal header (4-2-1). From what I understand the 4-2-1 keeps the power band a little lower than the 4-1 header which tends to shift the powerband higher. If you want streetability you should stick with the 4-2-1 and if you take it to the track a lot you would probabally be better off with the 4-1. Hope this helps.

thx, Jay. How is your turbo? thx for your header.
I think my bosal is 4-2-1 also. Sometimes I think the exhaust is too loud now..:) the differences is what ^^^ said. Nothing can go wrong with a used, cheap one!

I had a shop installed for me because the rusted bolted are Fxxking hard to remove.
