Rep Power: 0 Okay, hopefully I can answer everyone's questions. The Kamikaze header is a header w/downpipe. The cat will be removed. You will no longer have a catalytic converter, and no, it doesn't sound bad at all. The header is basically a direct bolt-on. The only modifications are minor ones. For instance, the O2 sensors have to be lengthened. The header does not come with any hardware. Kamikaze says to use the existing gaskets, bolts, etc. Another minor issue is the downpipe doesn't reach the stock piping (about a 1/4" off). Hondasport went and bought a donut gasket for his. I just had a small piece of custom pipe made to fit in between the downpipe and the exhaust. One other thing, due to the removal of the cat, you're check engine light will come on. In order to get this to go off (if it bothers you), you will need to get an O2 simulator ($45). You can get these at diabloautosports. This modification is by far the best mod that I have done. I saw a noticeable increase in power throughout the entire powerband. Definitely worth the time and money. Especially if you have spent money on things like intake and exhaust. For the few that actually have this header, I haven't seen anything but positive comments. If I failed to answer a question or wasn't informative or clear enough, PM a me. I'll be glad to answer anymore questions anyone has who is planning on getting this header. Kamikaze header w/downpipe =

Rep Power: 0 yea it was a huge gain putting on kami header and 2.75 back exhaust
you will notice it straight off.
ez to install too took me 2 hours to put it on including the mil eliminator and extending the other sensor. i dont know if you can find anyone to put it on unless you know somone personnaly i belive they arent "supposed" to remove undamaged cats. ohh well. if your in cali or somwhere with emmisions checks just get a cat and bolt it on mid pipe.
