Curious if their adveritsing lives up.
Looks like the fitment would not be as tight after an engine swap, compared to 4-2-1 type (DC).
Your opinions / experiences here...

i was asking the same question, and opted for the Kamikaze because i found a set for really cheap and in good condition. Definitely an improvement over stock and can feel the power in both low and mid rpm ranges (i haven't really been pushing my car too much cause i just did a swap) however i haven't tried DC so couldn't compare the two.

Kamikaze claims that they have a greater increase in horsepower than DC, the only people i have talked to about them are those with d16z6 SOHC VTEC, thats what i have too, and they are all in favor of them, apparently the Kamikaze are especially good with supercharged applications.

 

Kamikaze headers are best suited for high boost (9psi pully) supercharging applications. They have short primaries, which is for supercharging.

 

I used one on my 2000 Civic Si, JRSC @ 8psi. It made great power on top, but man, it fit like total crap. There was no a-pipe support bracket and the a-pipe was angled up a little. Sometimes my cat would smack the bottom of the car. I eventually got tired of the fitment issues, so I sold it.

A friend mine with the same car and same setup bought one, but he instead bought the ITR version. It is exactly the same (as far as we can tell), but the a pipe hangs a little lower. It fits the 99-00 Civic Si perfectly!
