I put mine in a long time ago, but I'm curious, did you move the o2 sensor or get the simulator?

I got an MIL eliminator sent free with my header and it worked perfect so far.

That's where I'm ordering mine from. You can PM him. His name is bigjoshracing on this site.

CivicRacer5, got any pictures of it installed? How much did you get it for? What kind did you get... the High Luster Ceramic or Nickel Polish? Any suggestions for those planning to get it soon... like me. Hehe!

i paid 255 shipped for the high temp black coating. Get the MIL eliminator from robert too, its only like 15 bucks and is a much easier install than the o2 simulator. You will need a 2 inch donut gasket for where the downpipe connects to the rest of the exhaust and you will need nuts to fit the spring bolts at that connection too because the stock nuts are welded to the b-pipe. other than that it is great and the performance is excellent, i recommend this part to anyone, it compliments my exhaust and intake very well.

Yeah, true that! I got my Kamikaze from Robert a few months back, he's a stand up guy and a great seller!

hey this is kind of off topic but why does the kamikaze header not for the ex? i figure its because of the catalytic converter placement difference...does anyone know what kind of trouble i'd have putting the kamikaze on my ex?

Not Carb legal, it replaces your cat, bolts up directly to your exhaust.

no just go to any autoparts store and they can hook you up with the nuts and donut gasket.

You can Get an EX version all it is, is an extra downpipe.

It isnt carb legal or anything because you have no cat. you cant get any hp staying carb legal.

The header is still in perfect condition just like when i installed it and i have put about 5,000 miles on it, the black coating is still great, it doesnt make the exhaust a whole lot louder, just deeper sounding, and makes the car sound a lot more tuned!

I can't decide which way I'm going to go.. I may just do the I/H/E thing and do a engine swap after I get this car paid off..but on some days I want to get a turbo...
