2.5" primaries/collector. What companies make this for the H22A1?

Kamikaze Headers
" Kamikaze's extensive Research and Development
department has intensively studied the racing industry.
The 4 into 1 into 2 single outlet, two piece
Honda/Acura header system is the fruit of our research.
Our headers also feature the largest tubing available
of 1 3/4" tubing using 14 gauge mild steel.
Compared to standard headers of only 1 1/2" or 1 5/8".
Not only is our tubing larger but we also are the first to
offer 2 1/2" collector opening. "

it was a friends. never dynoed but the before and after was very nice.

not much low end of course but the power near the vtec engagement point and top end was greatly improved. not sure if that's because the size of the collector or the beefy primaries and secondaries.

Fitment was fine i.e. unlike the SMS header? How much do they go for approximately?

4-2-1

.. With the 4-1, there just simply is not enough ground clearence with lowered cars, and having to trim up the subframe is a pain (just not enough room for the pipes)..

Did your beaten up 4-2-1 header get sold? Any production targets for the 4-2-1 header?

Corey, you not telling me something????

Going to do one more prototype 4-2-1 to compare to the current one on Corey's car. I probably won't start building production versions until the end of the year. Sorry to the guys already on the build list.

Good luck 2 point6

This is Corey, under my Girlfriends name...

Don't worry Dave, the 4-2-1 is just great. Warren won't admit how much I pulled on his ITR at Lowes.

It was the 4-1 that got a little dinged up, and 2point6 (Scott) has it now, and is going to put it on his accord, we all are hoping to see good gains..

I've seen one of their B series headers in person and it looked very nice. Friend said he felt a good after on the butt dyno with his B16. They make really nice pieces, and for the life of me I can't comprehend why they don't have a real website up yet.

Sorry I'm retarded, I guess what I mean is the primaries are the right size to flow to a 2.5" downpipe.

On the dyno, the 4-2-1 yeilded better top end power, by about 3 HP in the last thousand RPM's to redline..
