Your 4-2-1 header doesn't exist.

Not to start a war in here but...
The RPW Race header replaces what you are asking for and it is 4-1 it also replaces the first cat. I don't know which is better for the money.

They're all very similar. It'd pretty much be down to cost brand preference, and the minor differences in how they alter the powerband imo. Can't say I've driven a car with any, but I've seen and been driven in a car with the Kamikaze and well...it's actually pretty nice. I wasn't expecting much.

Because our RPW headers are such long primary tubes 34" long they create a lot of torque as well as more top end power which is why we don't bother making a 4-2-1 system. They are mandrel bent and as said - come with a down pipe to the 2nd cat converter so they free the car up a lot on its breathing without sacrificing any torque at all.

On teh lancer 1.8 engines our race series produce more torque than the 4-2-1 systems.

Is the RRM header legal?? Or how about the RRW header? If it replaces the first cat with a high flow cat, will that make it better? What is the difference in replaceing it? Any help would be helpful, thanx.

I'm running the header and test pipe... no "CEL" at all! Maybe you busted the O2 sensor when removing??
