I thought I would lose low end going to a 4-1 header, but i didnt feel any loss. If anything, it felt that I gained a bit of low end torque, and a lot of hp. But then again, I cant really say anything without getting on a dyno. But I will say that I liked it! Im thinking about getting it for my h22a since hotshot only makes it for the h22a in a civic

the kamakazee 4-1 is different than all the rest so your not going to lose any low end like say a JDM 4-1 header on an integra....the primaries merge a lot earlier on the kamakazee...so while it is a 4-1 its not a true 4-1

good question...

i'm very satisfied with my dc 4-2-1

i'd like to see a comparison with the kamikazee, i think 2.5" might be overkill on a N/A accord, but who knows.

I got it at ardperformance.com for $257 total with s/h. And yes I believe it was nickel plated, looks like stainless steel

going from 2.5" to 2.25" is never going to be good, if you can make it a smooth transaction it wont be bad...but dont try to just bolt it up
