Kamikaze big sounds?

I know this might be a stupid question but I need reasurrance.. For all of you with Kamikaze header.. will it make my exhaust louder even if I still have the stock piping under the car?


And what are the advantages of aftermarket spark plugs.. I mean the Zex plugs are only 20 on speedpeople.. Should I get the plugs before or after I get NX kit?

Sorry for all the questions Ive read the threads and I am a little unsure about a few things.. last but not least..

Is it true I have to buy premium gas if I run nitrous..?

my old ride.. and photoshop!!

i have the black high temp coated one, it will make your exhaust louder, and yes the reason it is cheaper is the black high temp paint is cheaper to put on, and cheaper to replace if needed.

DO NOT buy zex plugs they suck *****, theyre really for "nitrous applications" if you wanna know why read my nitrous FAQ in FI. a lot of people buy aftermarket spark plugs because they claim to feel a gain in hp, i dont buy it. i changed plugs because im running nitrous.

i have the dc header on an ex, as you may have heard the dc isnt much bigger than stock, but i didnt notice any additional loudness, although if the header is big enough i would expect a slight increase, nothing too drastic

lol I guess, I was planning on getting one but I know im either going FI or swap so I dont need a header at this moment. Plus I will just get emissions and cops around me with that header

kamikaze header is illegal. I don't know if that concerns you or not but you should know if you live in an emissions testing state.

I was thinking about the Kamikaze header but the HP is better for the EX than the Kamikaze.

It might make your exhaust louder seeing that you are losing your cat also.

I would get a set of Denso's instead of Zex.

me either, hours later it's still really warm. I made the mistake of touching it right after i came back from a trip, and WOW, what a mistake. From str8 black to that, its all good though, I'm just gonna powdercoat it another color anyway.

It's illegal to run w/out a cat in Texas. But don't tell that to all the people running straight headers
