Default It it worth getting 4-2-1 header

I know megan racing has a cheap 4-1 header for my 04 ex (about $130)... do you guys think its worth paying the extra 200 bucks for a dc 4-2-1 header? Do you actually feela substantialdifference in power? I really want the low end power provided by the 4-2-1 header but i dont think there would be much of a difference... anyone have experience with this?

you won't feel the difference in header designs on a stock to moderately modified civic (unless we're talking bisimoto headers... bisi headers ftw!). But if you live in Cali and emissions testing will be a problem, you almost have to go with DC, since they're emissions-legal. I believe Hedman Chikara headers (though not the Tork-Step) are CARB-legal, too (and the Chikaras are around $150 shipped from Summit Racing). Oh, and Hedman Chikara headers are 4-2-1 (2-piece), too.

hold on and I'll check... and I was corrected in your other thread... MR's 7th gen header is emissions-legal.

edit: checked... Summit doesn't have them so I'm going to assume Hedman doesn't make them. I'd say go for the MR.
