header Question!

Planning to put a header into my car, i know that some header will fail the emission test in T.O., so i just wanna know what ppl in T.O. who have a 7th gen, and what kind of header they have for their car.

Where can I get a "kamikaze HEADER"? since it's pretty popluar in this site.

the dc's only the top portion though and i believe the kamikaze is a full header that eliminates the cat...i bet you'd still pass though..other than the fact its illegal to have no cat

thx for all the input

Liro: you're right, kamikaze header will fail the emissions test, since it's 2.5" piping

BoSS: I am not sure to get a DC header or not, since i was told by everyone in this site, that header will not provide much improvment for Si(Canadian), since the piping is the same as the Si stock header


02civic: i am not sure, since on other website, kamikaze only have a 4-1 but not 4-2-1

Ya....DC headers suck!!

I didnt notice anything....But the piping is just a touch bigger and the inside cut is A LOT smoother and free-flowing, but its okay....It loks better under the hood.....Maybe i'll sell mine...anybody interested?

the dc header is the stock header but made of different material no? i dont think you will notice much improvement given that, but like boo said, as long as you do nothing but a body dyno it may be ok....
