2 peice is easier to install but i prefer 1 peice. less parts mean less that can go wrong.

i also heard there was a slight weight difference. no flanges in the middle and such. i would go with 1 piece myself. like nail said, less to go wrong with. less parts to break

The reason theres such thing as a 1-piece and a 2-piece isnt becuz of installation or clearance. A company like DC Sports has reason. Aside from the fact that they make applications that fit for your car, theres a performance difference. Its all in what you want out of the car. If you want headers that are going to help your top end (search if you dont know what that is) you should get the 4 to 1. If you want to help your bottom end, thats when you go with the 4:2:1. If the application is for your car, then it will fit. IMO I would go with the 4:2:1. You need to be quick before fast.
