Ok, it's HEADER, there's only 1, and we have a 420A not 240A.

i think that greddy was tested to give the best gains.. but it was a small gain on the dyno, but i do think that they were worth it...

well.. imo, you get what you pay for.. if you get a header for cheap there may be a real reason why it is so cheap... cheaply made, cheap material, etc.... as far as the 4-2-1 or 4-1.. i would stick with the 4-1. it supposed to have better top-end flow and you are supposed to lose some low end.. but from what i have noticed is that the top end does have a little more response and i didnt feel any loss down low. i do remember someone saying that the 4-2-1s were better for the autos.. search this topic and you will find more info on it.

Well if you want power you should get the pacesetter header. This is out of experience I had the pacesetter header on my 95. When the time came for a header for my 99 I was going to get pacesetter but tried to get a OBX 4-2-1 header but was sent a 4-1 stainless steel greddy knock off header. So I installed them, I should have sent them back and got what I wanted.
They look nice as hell but the pascsetter still gave more H.P. and TQ.

Get the pacesetter header they may not look as nice as a stainless steel greddy header but they work better.

THe Greddy header turns an ugly purple color the day you install it. I would get a Hotshot ceramic coated header. That is what I have.

well.. the changing color is not because of the quality of the header.. its due oil from the skin from when anyone touched the metal.. it heats up and changes colors. so i now have purple headers! damnit!

header getting rusty, you don't have to sand it just go buy a can of gray primer and coat em' with it. When it gets hot the primer will turn white and stay that way. Looks a lot better than a rusty header. and whenever it chips just spray that spot with more primer.

I use a pacesetter and have had no problems with it. No leaks and I can feel a little power gain with it.
