Thank you lol

I dont seem to get why my simple questions end up in long discussions
This may be because you still haven't provided any more information other than asking for a header recommendation that provides more power. The question itself is flawed.

Whatever header you purchase, it will be a compromise. Simply installing a different header on the S2000 isn't going to magically unlock power all across the power band. In that assumption, you are proceeding with the belief the engineers at Honda left headroom in the design for 3-4 hp all across the powerband. That isn't going to happen. You will be able to find headers that achieve gains under narrow conditions, for forced induction (Comptech), mid-range (Mugen, version 2 of the Spoon), or low end (DC Sports). These gains will come at the cost of decreased performance at other engine speeds. I haven't seen the Toda or J's dyno'd first hand so I cannot comment on their attributes.

4-2-1 or 4-1, equal length, unequal length. These attributes only matter so much in the construction. As a consumer, the only thing you should care about is the intended result, weight, and the build quality. Pick a your product based on your need. Though it doesn't sound like you have a specific goal in mind. In that case, you shouldn't waste your money.

Yeah, I guess we all play our parts. I know I enjoy your "right answer" antics Ray But someone has to be here to provide proper explanation on things since Jeff and Mike G aren't here and of course give you senior know it all's a hard time

The prototype was built off my car. Once it's done at powder coat, yes it will be on my car.

Here is the link to the first prototype.
I'd also be interested I'm seeing the dyno sheets as well as a list of other "power mods" when all is said and done ... Just for shits n giggles. I heard you put some hot seats in your s. I was actually supposed to stop by and check them out. However I was told that they're not the best fit (as just about all after market seats in the s)

Oh yeah, and I was told you're some hot Korean chick. LOL
