I have a RMR intake and a RMR exhaust and Im gonna buy the Kamikazee header and dp combo, but I want to pick up the ///RRM test pipe, but I need to know if its gonna make the car sound raspy or high pitched? I love the nice deep grumble it has now, but Im afraid of it sounding like **** if i do the test pipe? Any help would be great!

I have the Kamikaze header with the test pipe....... the exhaust is quite a bit louder but i don't think it sounds "ricey" You will enjoy a nice little boost of accelleration above 4000 rpm's with the header. it's just a pain in the butt to install though. I say go for it.

 

is it deep, high pitched, raspy????

 

i have a Bomz Short ram, RRM test pipe and 2.25 greddy cat back.... hows it sound?? I'm Lovin it!!! at 1st the greddy was to quiet for my taste.. then the test pipe gave it some sound (more bass not treble like a civic lolol )and gave my car lot more push! its so deep that i accidently set of car alarms here n there lolol. i cant wait to add my RPW race header! so i say go for it man!!

 

sounds like he means its raspy

 

i feel the headers give a lil raspy civic noise but it aint loud. with the test pipe it will be loud, but since u really don't have alot of mods, u will loose alot of low end power which i don't think is worth it for top end since our motor strives at low end since its a trqy. but if u decide to get the test pipe u can always get a glass pack resonator that should make it sound much nicer. much

 

A little raspy on accelleration but i think it's more high pitched at crusing speed then at idle. I honestly don't mind it. I like the sound. Just my $ .02

 

I had just about all combinations you can get in an exhaust. With my Kamikazi headers, second cat, and Magnaflow exhaust, I thought it was TOO loud. When I had my turbo in with NO cats, it was quiter than that set up because the turbo muffles alot of the noise.

 

yes i had that set up and IMO it did kinda sound ricey at about 4000rpms. But i did kinda have a little leak between dp and cat. but its nice.

 

just put my kamikaze headers on. sounds a little more throaty until you get higher in rpms. then, yes, it sounds a little more "honda-ish". but i dig the aggressive sound.

 

Wher can I get the Kamikazi headers for the lancer? I've seen 3 different spellings of it here and can't find a website that has it for the lancer.

 

It's spelled Kamikaze and you can find one on either bigjoshracing.com or kamikazeperformance.com - they should have what you need.

 

Since this thread was resting peacefully, let's let it stay that way.

PS - ptuning.com has it cheapest!
