Default Header Question

Hello, well this is going to be my first post. I have a 95 Honda Civic coupe is a JDM B16A Second Gen engine. And i don't know if its me but I feel like the DC headers i put on my car, don't give me that extra "ummph" like my stock headers did. So if anybody would know if 4-2-1 headers are better or 4-1 on the DC. and if the type r headers will fit a b16? Thanks!

If the only mod you have on the car is the header, than you won't feel much. In order to build power, you have to make things work in combination. Get a cold air intake, and a cat back to go with the 4-2-1 header, then I think you'll be a little surprised.

Yeah, 4-2-1 will make more of a difference on a 1.6. But you should be able to feel it even without the I/E. The thing is, it'll be relatively high-rpm power, so you might wanna check up near 4,500 or 5,000 to see if you can find it .

Well I do have an exhaust and also a short ram intake. I had a cold air, but since it has been raining in So Cal, i took it off.
