this comes from one of my ealier posts in the technical section......
a header or the exhaust manifold basically comes in two designs....a 4-2-1 and a 4-1. Where 4 means 4 outlets (for a four cylinder car), 2 to 1 means that the four outlets merge to become two and ultimately end up in the form of a single collector which then connects to the exhaust.
In a typical four stroke engine, the engine produces most of its power during the power stroke. the petrol in the cylinder burns and expands..resulting in generation of power. The other three strokes are simply necessary evils and a drain on the engine.
The goal of headers is to make it easier for the engine to push exhaust gases out of the cylinders. During the exhaust stroke...a good way for an engine to channel out power is through back pressure. if there is any resistance, it will be difficult for these exhaust gases to get out easily resulting in more hard work for the pistons (as they will have to push against the pressure) resulting in loss of power.
in a stock manifold, there will always be a higher level of back pressure because all cylinders share the same outlet. an aftermarket header eliminates that by way of a 4-2-1 or a 4-1 design and providing each cylinder its own exhaust pipe.
i hope that answers your question. let me know if u need more info.
