Re: ebay header
 

for that price...u might as well invest an extra 50 bucks and get a Megan. Then at least ur guaranteed durability and quality at an affordable price. with that thing its kind of like a who knows thing. u might end up with the same leaking hole u got now.

Re: ebay header
 

yea, but does megan make one for the lx/dx

Re: ebay header
 

just answered my own q, they dont make one for lx/dx

Re: ebay header
 

well i went smart, i just ordered a kamikaze straight from the manufacturer!!! cant wait to get it

Re: ebay header
 

^^^ nice choice

Re: ebay header
 

How much did u pay for it ? And send me the link where u bought it from .. i got the same lx/dx bs problem man :hithead:

Re: ebay header

Re: ebay header
 

i wish i woulda seen this thread earlier.. i have a ceramic coated kamikaze header for sale.. used for only about.. 4-5k miles.. then again, its for an ex...

Re: ebay header
 

yea, tell me something, did urs come with a gasket set??

Re: ebay header
 

nope.. the only gasket it came with was the one that connects to the downpipe.. i ended up reusing the stock spring bolts and going to autozone to find some nuts that fit.. i think i also reused the stock gasket.. lol.. back when i was young and naive and didnt know that you were supposed to use new gaskets..

Re: ebay header
 

wonder where i could get a good gasket for it

Re: ebay header
 

you talking about the gasket that goes between the head and the header, right? just use an OEM gasket.. you can prolly get one at a dealership, www.hondaautomotiveparts.com, or even dezod carries them

Re: ebay header
 

wish the ss ones from dezod werent on backorder, its more, but i bet its better

Re: ebay header
 

prolly.. you'd prolly be fine with just an OEM one tho.. i mean, it is a honda OEM item

Re: ebay header
 

let us know how that kamikaze is on the car. im thinking about switching back to my oem manifold becuz i have an obx header and i felt liek i lost a ton of low end and gained barely nohting up top but noise. did anybody notice a difference with that kamikaze header?

Re: ebay header
 

def. ill let u know, unfortunately itll be a couple days because its on backorder at kamikaze, so they said itll ship out next week. Ive heard that the obx headers are junk, as far as research the kamikaze has been rated the best, so ill let everyone know what i think, maybe even run it in the 1/8th

Re: ebay header
 

hey greencivic,

please please please can u do a dyno on ur car now and then after u put the kamikaze header on??:_please:

cuz i hear that the kamikaze was the best for lx/dx and i would really like to kno how much gain in hp there is

but then again ur header is messed up? so would that dyno idea work :confused:

Re: ebay header
 

also wat other parts do u have on the car?

and please take a vid and put it on youtube so we can see it and hear it 2 :hgrin:

Re: ebay header
 

when i had my kamikaze, i didnt notice any drop at all.. a little up in the mid range, thats about it.. i did notice a drop when i didnt bolt up the downpipe correctly.. lol.. somehow i managed to offset the downpipe by about a half inch when i first installed it.. car ran like shit after that, but then I noticed the problem and fixed it right away.. hehe

it made my car sound pretty cool though.. that, paired up with a random tech high flow cat and an apex'i WS2 exhaust sounded pretty nice, actually.. not too loud, but you can definitely tell when you get on it (like WOT, for instance)

<plug="shamless">
with that said, i still have mine for sale.. i can get new pics, too, if ya want because i decided to take it with me when i visited my mom's house
</plug> :lol:

Re: ebay header
 

i wouldnt

Re: ebay header
 

dyno now would be pointless cuz i have a hole, and i have the standard upgrades, intake(ebay with aem filter), exhaust(flowmaster), and had the resonator removed(big sound boost) ill try to give everyone an idea what kind of power gain there is, if any. all i gotta do is run up against my fiance's car, 02ex, and see how much distance i pick up on her since we are running about the same right now since she has aem and flowmaster too

Re: ebay header
 

u wouldnt what??

Re: ebay header
 

alright thats cool...let me kno wen its installed :)

Re: ebay header
 

hey rice boy...i wouldnt mind looking at the pics but i think if i get a kamikaze header ill just go w/the lx replacement


BUT i think if i did the ex kamikaze and random tech and weld it to my magnaflow cat back that would be a lot quieter dont u guys think?

Re: ebay header
 

soon as it comes off of backorder, i cant wait... plus i gotta get a gasket, i emailed dezod to see how long their stainless gasket will b on backorder too, otherwise i gotta get an oem one

Re: ebay header
 

man riceboy id take that kamikaze off ur hands if i could but that 200 shipped is killin me. i know u get wat u pay for but right now...i dont have it. pm me if u wana work out some kind of deal.

Re: ebay header
 

200 is a steal, mine cost me 300 from kamikaze's website

Re: ebay header
 

on that link, they advertise a header for the dx/lx, does that mean the header has two spots for the o2 sensors? or would you still have to get a high flow cat/test pipe?

Re: ebay header
 

it has two holes for 02 sensors i think, ill let u know when i get it, they are in teh process of making it, so itll be next friday prolly till i get it
