4-2-1 usually give better mid range torque whereas 4-1 give higher top end torque so really 4-2-1 for fast road 4-1 for race

Is describes the design of the pipes.

4-1 = 4 pipes into 1

OBX 4-1 and standard 2.0 manifold




4-2-1 = 4 pipes into 2 pipes into 1

Focus central




A 4-2-1 gives better flow and therefore better gains.
