Default Kamikaze header or Dc Sports

Wassup guys,
I have a 6th Gen Accord. I'm just wondering if i should get the Kamikaze 4-2-1 Chrome Header or the Dc Sports Ceramic header. Please give me some suggestions. Thanks.

Kamikaze with a custom 2.5" collector to a 2.5" cat and 2.5" cat back exhaust to a free flowing muffler.

Get a DC Sports Stainless one . Looks great, sounds great, good quality too. I have never heard of 'Kamikaze'

regular DC Sports is garbage. The only decent one they make is the JDM one for the Bseries.

The size of the primaries on a SMSP H22a header are the same size as the secondaries on a DC Sports H22a.

that is so true, they are just ligther then honda headers, i am not a big fan of these headers at all plus the chip

defiantly go with kamikaze, did we ever figure out if they are 4-1 or 4-2-1?

kamikaze used to make two types, 1 is the 4-1's i have on mine and they used to make a 4-1-2-1 i really did not understand the purpose of such a design

Nick, why do you say the DC is garbage? Just wondering cause I got a ceramic DC on my car, but I never compared with any other headers.

they are just ligther then honda headers, flow is increased but is very minimal.

SOHCArchangel ~ is that all they make now is the 4 - 1? does that go for the b&h series motors also?

They will provide some gains. But the built quality is not too good and they are just at the bottom of the ladder for making power. But if you want more power you have to hand over more $$$. It depends on your application. Getting a $1200 high end header may not be worth it to you if you get a CAI, DC and run of the mill catback, all 3 together would make as much whp as just a real header would. Just food for thought.

go with the kamikaze.

they make them in either a 2.25" collector or a 2.5" collector, get the 2.5".
they are 4-1 with short primaries and 2.5" secondary pipe.

i just recently installed mine on my car and love it.
also, think about a hi-flow cat.
