Hi , in the next months i'm planning to buy a header for my s2000. I want to know which of the desgns(4-2-1) (4-1) gives more HP or is better for our cars. Please post the brand (comptech , DC SPorts , Spoon , Mugen )


Thanks

ps Right now im almost decided to buy a DC sports... but wanna make sure im doing the right buy... Please ADVICE!

 

Sorry to jump in on your thread S2K@PR, but:

I have a question about headers too, I've heard that aftermarket headers on an S2000 don't add horsepower, but make VTEC engagement smoother. I don't understand this concept, how can the engagement be smoother? Thanks!

in the "worst mod" post, it seems that dc headers are just a waste of money.

 

Over time people have gotten repeatable results.

Spoon = 4-2-1 increase in topend hp
Mugen = 4-2-1 increase in midrange hp (therefore making VTEC engagement smoother)
Toda = 4-2-1 new supposedly good increase throughout (see Prolene's (NA) and skychicken's (Vortech SC) post in UTH)
DC = no increase just lighter
Comptech = 4-1 haven't seen anything beyond their own dyno's showing a slight increase in midrange and more up top (note their graphs are done with Comptech Intake)
HKS = 4-1 slight increase in peak hp

turbo_pwr - THANK YOU! I can finally understand, it's smoother because the HP jump isn't as severe, got it! Well now I know what I'm looking at in purchasing a header! Thanks guys.

 

Now i have a clearer vision of what to get, thanks people ... also thanks north9586 for making your question! it cleared more doubts

 

They should put this in the library or something so that people can see this again later, or reference it. I know it was really helpful for me, and it seems to be for others too. Glad some GOOD information came up. Thanks again to turbo_Pwr!

4-2-1 headers usually give better mid-range

4-1 usually gives better top end hp
