Default Kamikaze Headers?? Any good?

well, I have a nice crack in my DC Ceramic 4-2-1 header... I was looking for a new one and came across the Kamikaze header. Anyone have any good or bad comments on these? I have a 4-door EX 5 speed with a bunch of goodies, but nothing like NOS or anything yet.. so i was wondering? thanks

The only person I know that has a Kamakaze is Misa... but he modified the collector... 4-1 headers produce more top end, but will steal a little of your mid-range... even though it's a cheap brand, I don't think it's too bad of a header...

Kamikaze headers are proven to make more power than a DC header throughout the powerband. Usually right around 5 HP more.

who proved it..... the endyne website??

that header sux for an allmotor application, the primarys are too fat and short.

the only time that header will help is in a supercharged application where the engine is flowing alot more air

so u have done alot of research on supercharged F22's to make that claim? Or are you talking about Kamikaze's for other motors?

An SC'd motor making 220whp, or an NA motor making 220whp, exhaust flow is exhaust flow. When the power comes on and whether its midrange or top end is dependant on many things, one of which is the exhaust header design, whether its long/short primaries etc. A header doesnt know if its supercharged exhaust its handling or NA. Am i missing something here? If you are saying the Kamikaze is only good for higher HP applications then that may be true. But to say supercharged only isnt correct in my book.
