Default Header: DC or Kamikaze

Which is best for a F23 accord, DC Sports or Kamikaze. I've heard good things before in here about Kamikaze, though DC has the name. I'm going to be ordering a header this week or next and I'm leaning towards Kamikaze. Any comments about either would be appericated.

both header are nice. if ohio or wherever your living at doesnt require smog test and have heavy emission laws then i would go with the kamikaze header cuz it will be most likely cheaper and give the same gains otherwise id go with the dc CARBed approved header.

i think columbus doesn't have E-check, so you should be ok. if you move north into Cleveland, for example, you'll bomb e-check.. I'd say go DC..but that's because I have E-check every few years.

i have. i have the Kamikaze 4-1 with the 2.5" collector and i got it from ARD performance. great quality and fast shipping. i got it within the week.

i also have experience with DC Sports. they're pure junk. rice headers are all they are. sorry, but when about 95% of all DC Sports products break within the first month you have them you know there's something wrong.

if you're going with nitrous, go with kamikaze. if you're going N/A, go with greddy or the Chikara stepped header is good.

I also plan on getting a zex kit and I don't think emissions should be a problem here in C-bus.

a buddy of mine was glancing through an import tuner magazine a while back and he said that they did a test on a variety of headers. i believe the motor used was an h22a, and the outcomes showed that the jdm header turned out to be better than the n2, but i dunno...
