OBX header or SUPER CIRCUIT?

Hello,

I have a 2012 Mitsubishi lancer, I'm planning to buy a 4-2-1 header but I'm not sure if there is any difference in sound for either the OBX or SUPER CIRCUIT?

well the difference between the obx and the super circuit is that the obx is 4-1 and the supercircuit 4-2-1. with the obx you have higher profits in HP in high RPM vs the super circuit is high torq and lower hp you choose the best one that suits you and for what you want if it is for race obx if it is daily use super circuit

You also have the option of porting yours with the advantage of winning good HP is what is done in Puerto Rico since different headers have been tested and in the dyno they have not given good numbers and the OEM is used with very good numbers. good luck

Thank you so much for your reply!!

I'm sorry to ask, but what do you mean by porting my OEM header? I have asked several tuners and told me the OEM header is really good!!

I just saw some videos but the problem with this method is that i personally never did such a job and i'm afraid that i will make the manifold leaks which could cost me the price of the header.... even if i decided to give the job to some shop, i'm sure they might take more than the price of the actual header.


Thank you so much for advising me!!
