Default is the KAMIKAZE header any good?

is the KAMIKAZE header any good? there is an ebay auction w/ a dyno test that says it out performs the dc header by 5 hp. also would $345 shipped be a good price for the dc stainless one piece header?

from what I understand it's the same header that endyne sells for d-series because for some reasn it does make a significant difference over other similar models. there is a right up on it somewhere at http://www.theoldone.com

Great header for making power with a supercharger set up. Sucks for N/A, and it fits like crap.

I have one on my car currently and it had to be rewelded to fit under the oil pan. other than that, it fits great and the power gain was nice. Now all I have to do is stop being lazy and actually install my jrsc.

Your going to get mixed opinions on this header (or any header). It pretty much ends up being- you get what you pay for. There has been many threads on the Kamikaze header just use the search option. Heres a link that reviews different types of headers on D-series motors http://www.hadamotorsport.com/....html

I also have the Kamikaze header on my Civic and they are probably the best header for the price if you are running a supercharged setup. The header that Endyn sells is a custom made by Kamikaze in accordance with the specs of Endyn specifically for a JRSC'd engine.

One thing is for sure, this header will make more power than a stock header.

I've never had any problems with fitment or issues with leakage on my Kami header.
