why does everyone get the kamikazi and the dc header when the only FULL COMPLETE HEADER is the HP RACING??? every other header is just the shorty style....

Well, I got the Kamikaze because they have one specifically for LX. I heard HP has one for LX too, but I'm not sure about it. I found out after I purchase the Kamikaze so I didn't really research it any further.

The Kamikaze isn't a shorty style. Mine is a full replacement. C'mon man. Do your homework before you post something stupid.

No problem. I didn't mean to be a jerk. Some of the misinformation on this site bothers me.

No, there is no catalytic converter. Just straight pipe.

Well, I'm not sure about the EX, but it eliminates the cat converter if you have an LX, if you have the Kamikaze header.

If you want to know more about the Kamikaze header, talk to Robert at www.BigJoshRacing.com, just in case you can't find enough info here.

Yeah, it eliminates the cat. HP will probably yield better gains on a NA civic motor, though. I'm not sure about fitment on an EX.

ah. do a search on header and u will find that I've posted pics showing the difference between a LX/DX/HX exhaust manifold and EX's...

the kamikaze for the EX isn't a long length version.. its the short replacement.

technically I wouldn't call the HP a full replacement, any header that bolts on is a full replacement, the HP is the long length style, I guess we can say that.

the kamikaze header for the DX/LX version is a longer length version.. it replaces the stock DX/LX cat convertor, because the stock DX/LX header is VERY VERY short.

if you guys search, u will see the pic... once you know what the stock system look like, you will have a better understanding of the aftermarket parts.
