What is the difference between 100-cell and 200-cell headers?
1 Answers
100-cell and 200-cell headers differ in their emission levels. Key differences: The 200-cell header, due to its larger exhaust pipe diameter, allows some incompletely burned gases to escape. This makes it less likely to meet environmental standards. The 100-cell header, with its smaller exhaust volume, enables gases to be fully burned before passing through the exhaust pipe. Therefore, the two types differ in exhaust gas combustion efficiency. Header modification notes: Converting to straight pipes directly affects noise and air quality, while S-type and M-type mufflers that only modify the rear section have minimal impact. Straight pipes affect low-RPM power, S-type mufflers affect high-RPM performance, while M-type mufflers balance both but come at a higher cost.
