Re: headers? [Help! new problem]

["Alex Ting" <alex@millenniumsolutions.net>]

AARRGGH!

you're right, Brian.

It's a 4 into one!

Dammit!
Ok, I've got a day to decide if I want the header or not.
How does everybody feel about 4 into 1s for street use?
What if I go with 2" cat back, instead of 2.25?
Should I just forget it and find a tri-y?

I don't want to lose a lot of low end just for power above
4000 rpms.
