yes, it will be much louder for sure!! (correct me if i am wrong 
), my buddy have a dc header for his DX, and with custom cat back and short ram, it is considerablely louder than what I have expected.

Sorry. Flowmaster calls it a catback on the website I ordered it from, but yes it's an axleback muffler technically. By the way BAMBOO, what's a MIL eliminator and where can I get one?

nice thread, just want to make a few things clear:
1) How easy is it to install the header, i mean, if i have to do a emission test later on in the future, i don't want to waste the $$ for the re-installation.
2) i have Ex, if i get a Kamikaze header, it wil still help for hp increase, right??? what should i get 4-2-1 or 4-1 with cold air and cat back system???

The Kamikaze header makes the car louder but not too much. The header will change the sound of your car by deepening the exhaust tone. There is definately an increase in horsepower on the LX because it removes the stock Catalytic Converter and the patheticly restrictive stock exhaust header. On the EX I would suspect the horsepower increase would not be as noticable since the stock exhaust system on that car is more free flowing and the Cat. is not replaced by adding the Kamikaze header.

Rep Power: 0 Ive had my kamikaze header installed for almost a year and i have 2" custom piping all the way back and my car is pretty loud especially when i get on it btw i have an lx 5 spd with aem CAI and S-AFC
My Kamikazi hdr and HKS axleback shld be arriving in 2 weeks. Wondering if I should also have a muffler shop install slightly larger than stock exhaust piping from hdr to axleback, say 2.25" mandrel bend if possible. Would retain the resonator to keep sound levels down. What do you guys think?
Run 2.5" piping keep the resonator or buy an aftermarket resonator. Try to get mandrel bending. Running without the resonator will make a lot of noise and it may not be the type of noise you want. The Resonator will keep the sound to a decent level. I was running without the catalytic converter until Saturday. Now I have the universal Random Technologies Cat. Which is a good investment depending on state laws and if you don't like the smell. I passed emissions here in Ontario the same day for a transfer of ownership.
I dont think u can get a mil eliminator at a local auto parts store. But u can get one from Big josh racing. http://www.bigjoshracing.com/store/shop/index.html .
A bunch of people have gotten theirs from this place so u can trust them.
