depends what motor I think. The kamikaze for the b-series I believe is only good for FI. It has really short primaries and dumps into the collector right away. Not good for all motor. I would say JDM 4-1, hytech, spoon, toda or mugen. Comptech's perform really well too.

I had the DC sports 4-1 on my H1 hatchie with B18A motor. It felt OK.

I just put on the new KOS header with 2.5" collector. It feels noticably stronger above 5000 rpm.

It pulled WELL at Lowes Motor Speedway.

good luck,

Kamikaze is only good for Supercharged apps. Most N/A motors lose hp when they use Kami. due to the short primaries. If you are only wanting to use a header for a little while just get a used DC it will add a few hp.

I wouldn't even waste any money on a header if I was to go turbo cuz then what's the use of the header when u have to replace it again with a turbo manifold? That's prolly just me tho.

Do you think the extra cost of the Comptech over the DC is worth it??
