Default The S2000 doesn't have headers

...unless you swap in a V6 or V8.

I4 motors have an exhaust manifold, or a header. Headers would be where you have a V type engine and need TWO different exhaust manifolds, or header(s) - one for each side of the "V".

I had to dispell the myth once and for all. When referring to the S2000 or another I4 car from now on, don't say that your car has headers or you want to get headers, because it just makes you look silly like the people who say they like VTECH.

Since the I4 has four exhaust ports, can't one say that our engines have four exhaust headers? They just happen to merge eventually. Only something like a single-cylinder motorbike would qualify as having only one header.

Duh, who dosent know that. And why a 4 banger needs to go into 2 mufflers is odd. But hey I'll prolly go with the HKS dual exhaust to keep the trend going.
