thanks, i have an obx ceramic header now and its a shitty piece of metal taht has cracked a few times................


so i was looking into dc but i found out that these have a .25 inch bigger collector plus its a 4-1 so maybe i could pick up a few hp and a lot more reliability

Default Re: headers

correct me if i'm wrong(i'm sure i'll be corrected if i'm wrong, lol) but i think 4-2-1 headers help more with midrange power and 4-1 headers help out with high end

4-2-1 is better for mid to top end, 4-1 is for top end high rpm. As far as Kamikazee header go, I don't know from personal experience but I switched from an OBX header back to the stock Ex header and found better power in the stockie than the aftermarket granted it was OBX.

I think the Kamikaze is better than all the stock headers...but if your motor came with tubular headers I'm not so sure the OBX headers are worth the money. I'm just gonna have my exhaust dude gimme a 2.5" from the b-pipe back. The main bottleneck in the exhaust is at the b-pipe collector...if you keep it 2.5" from there back you should see decent gains.

I have a 93 EX btw that came with the F22A6...dual stage IM+ tubular header FTW
