Race Header vs non race header
Ok so i have read that you lose low end power when you go to a dc4-2-1 reagular header, but do you get better gains w/the "race"header with out the lose of low power? Maybe its a dumb question but i would like to know. And i live in texas so carb isnt a big deal to me and from reading up on the dc race header its emmissions legal just not carb

Also the race header is not emissions legal because it has no cat.

Generally a 4-1 header design will give you more top end power and you will lose some bottom end. A 4-2-1 header design you gain more midrange power and torque and not so much top end as in the 4-1 application. You will lose bottom end with either header but its not that big of a deal.
CARB only applies to california it stands for california air resource board. If u pass emissions in your county then u sould be fine. Id say save ur money and get sumptin else b/c like they said it will give u small gains.
