ok, so back to exhaust/ headers
ill come right out and say it, i was wrong
talked with dan this weekend and he supports your side of it. the tri y (4-2-1) header is GREAT from idle till 5500rpm...after that it falls on its face! thats why im looking to change now
my misunderstanding was in the long/ midlength tubes which are GOOD for power, if sized right they can help scavenging and are better up high (someone correct me if im wrong).
he has my car for some R&D work right now that he needed to get done, but when that is overwith we will see what i can convince the gf to let me spend to change things up a bit

Maven, though, told me 4-2-1 was better, and that a small displacement motor is best served by a multi-merge header.
I'm sure it's all preference.

Yeah, apparently he told me that a properly designed 4-1 will not even have much difference in bottom/mid, but you WILL notice the difference up high.

All I'm trying to say is the 4-2-1 might be the better choice.
All I know, is I would ask Clear Image, as they're the ones who make the parts, and they would know best.
A properly designed 4-1 can outperform a 4-2-1 in all aspects, even down low, and vise versa!
I believe Dan told me that their 4-1 did outperform their 4-2-1, and that the 4-1 was the better choice.

I don't understand what you mean.

the setup im selling is GREAT for low to midrange, it makes AWESOME power till 5500-6000rpm....and i need to be able to BUILD to 7.5k rpm....
i just posted a for sale thread about it, but pm me what your looking to spend and we can talk
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/parts-66/clear-image-4-2-1-header-catless-dp-204597/
and btw...this is PERFECT for you if you are looking to stay n/a without cams
and i cant talk about the r&d work right now....i will when i can
btw, the reason it is not great for a bigger cam, is because the cam doesnt start building till 3500-4000rpm and the header starts dropping power at 5500-6000rpm...so you dont really have much of a power band. having an exhaust setup that works till 7500+rpm lets you build power further and keep in your powerband throughout a race

Cams.. 4-1?
I'd consider buying that from you.. If it was catted.
Also, didn't they change how they made their 4-2-1?.. They used to have cylinders paired by firing order didn't they?.. It's different now, though.

I'm also going to buy their 2.5" cat-back, I emailed them for pictures of it, so I can get a feel for the muffler and ****, but no email back yet.

dan is pretty busy, should have pics online though
as far as changing it, we talked about that today haha. he said that they werent really selling any of the first model just because they werent deep into the balt market yet. he tossed the jig for it and then a few years later when they decided to start making it again, they redesigned it a bit. he said it should give any diff in performance as far as changing it up. no fitment issues with it and its performed great!
