Who has a kamikaze header on an LX coupe. If you have it, how do you like it?
Was it a good fit? How easy was installation? Any deatails would help, like what mods do you need to make it fit? And last, did it make that much of a difference... This is for the LX coupe owners.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

I have the Kamikaze header on my lx coupe, and I love it. First of all, there are a few things to consider before getting this header. It's a full header with a downpipe welded to it, so of course, your exhaust manifold is gone, which also means your catalytic converter is removed. So, if you have emissions, you're not going to pass. Also, if you're worried about the sound w/no cat, don't be, it's not loud at all. Some people say it sounds awful when you remove the cat, but I didn't notice much of a difference than what my car already sounded like with my exhaust, which is pretty quiet. It just makes the engine sound a little deeper, not louder. The header is basically a direct bolt-on with a few minor modifications. The O2 Sensors have to be lengthened, and the shop that did the install said they had to modify one of the existing gaskets. Other than that, they said it went on nicely. Also, due to the removal of your cat, your computer is going to go nuts (check engine light will come on). In order to get this to go off, you will need an O2 simulator. You can pick these up for about $45. I have intake, exhaust, pullies, and this header. I would say the header yielded the most increase in power. Of course it wasn't a dramatic increase, but a noticeable one probably due to the removal of the cat. The air can flow freely and isn't as restricted. I would definitely recommend getting this header if you can. I'm pretty sure you will be happy with the results.

Any idea which gasket they had to modify?

Not sure, I didn't see them do it. I'm assuming it's the one between the header and the engine.
