Hey, i wanna get the 1 piece greddy stainless steel 4-2-1 header but dont wanna pay for installation. Just wondering what everyone who's installed their own header would rate the difficulty level at. I've done a few small jobs on my integra and am decent with a wrench but im no mechanic.

well first off which header do you have exactly? a 1-piece header is a collecting 4-into-1 and a 4-2-1 is a 2-piece which you can unbolt and is same style as a stock header. If you have a 2 piece its a little bit easier to install and a 1 piece is a little harder to manuever when installing. Have some long socket tools handy because the stock bolts on the header will take some manpower to take off, hope this helps GL

I've heard crappy things about the GReddy header. But I mean a piece of metal is a piece of metal if you ask me... Since I wanted one to go with my GReddy Evo II... Yet I had 3+ people talk me out of it.

Would you say that the DC Sports SS header is better than the GReddy?

I wanna swap out my DC Sports ceramic for a SS one, but I need it to pass emissions. C.A.R.B. FTL.

I mean now a days all i hear is "that header sucks that header sucks blah blah blah..." personally I would take anything compared to my stock exhaust manifold... I mean I guess it depends on the material and how the welding turns out if you ask me...

Not all 4-2-1 are two pieces.

I think you mean ceramic.

But yeah, usually two piece is easier to install(two pieces) and one piece is a little more difficult. Just hope everything lines up, bolts dont give you shit and you should be okay doing it in your driveway. Of course id recommend jack stands.

I agree with you that some headers are better than stock. But a lot of people say that SS is better than ceramic and I agree.

thats because Stainless > Ceramic.

Most of those bolts will be close to impossible to get to with a torque wrench.
