I dont think the 80 dollar ebay one even has a name. It's just straight generic. I'm over that one now though. I am sure I want to buy a DC 4-2-1 Ceramic one piece header.. but now I got to find one. I have tried google searching everywhere. I wonder if they even make one. I only found 4-2-1 ceramic TWO piece ones.

NOT SAYING ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THE HP OR TRQ DIFERENCES BETWEEN THE TOO..JUST SAYING MOST PEOPLE PERFER THE STAINLESS CAUSE OF THE LOOKS...JSUT SAYING CERMAIC LAST LONGER AS FAR AS DURABILITY AND LAST LONGER.THERE LESS LIKELY TO CRACK OR RUST OR LEAK LIKE STAINLESS OR PAINTED HEADERS..BUT YEAH U ARE RIGHT ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE OF OF BOTTOM END AND TOP END..I HAD A A DIFFERENT BRAND OF HEADER AND IT HAD NO BOTTOM END LAGGED OF THE LINE..GOT THE DC HEADER AND IT GOT RID OF THE LAG AND NOTICE BETTER TOP END TOO...
Do you guys think that buying a two piece one is a bad idea? I know it's heavier (two lbs heavier than the one piece according to DC Sports web page) and the two piece design makes for a chance of leaking where the two pieces connect. Will they perform the same?
....
Thats what im thinking but all i can find is the Two piece ceramic 4-2-1. You think I would be fine with it?
Oh yea? is it the one I want? Any news on it becoming available to the public yet?
Heh, no my friend has the 4-1 DC ceramic headers that were a prototype last year Sorry for the confusion.

SLIM 187.. you have a 4-2-1 ceramic one piece?
First of all. Slim, check your caps lock.
Second. My choice would be a ceramic header, it will produce less heat. However, it's nice to have the lower end bump you will see with a 4-2-1 header.
Thirdly, the problem with the no name ebay headers is often quality of the welds, they also have a tendency to have warped flanges where they meet the block. You'll also see ones where they don't mate with the downpipe very well.
Higher end: if you want Stainless, get a Strup. If you want Ceramic, get a DC. If you want a 4-2-1, get the MMW.
If you gotta go cheap, get either the Megan racing header off ebay or the OBX header off ebay. Don't bother with the other ones.

Oh, and I forgot to mention... Since the header is located on the back of the block, and it's mostly obscured by a strut bar if you have one... I could care less if it's all nice and shiny, since 99% of the people who look in your engine aren't gonna notice it.
One last thing... where's the link to this two piece header??
Me thinks that they might be referring to a gasket. I've never seen a two piece header.
