before the repost and search police show up and yell at you, i'll let you know that this has been covered at least 20 times on these forums. they'll tell you to search next time, etc. anyways, i've had the rrm and the kamikaze, and all i can say is that there isn't a whole ton of difference. what are you looking to do? if you want a louder exhaust (which isn't really great) i would say go with the kamikaze. if you're planning on going with rrm turbo eventually, i would say go with the rrm header so you can actually use your header when you finally do install. i hear that the rpw is pretty decent, but it's not really worth the extra money over the other two.
my only engine mod was the rrm header and i noticed no difference in anything at all. the kamikaze seemed to open up exhaust flow a bit more and i felt it a bit, but not enough to jump for joy. it also had my afr running a bit rich afterward and i really would have needed to have tuning done eventually. i would stay away from headers as a somewhat early mod until you really decided what you want to do with your car. 2.5+" piping is kinda big for a N/A car and would be overkill unless you are planning on rippmods s/c eventually.
any of the three are fine. just pick one based on your needs and price range. the kamikaze is the cheapest of the three and includes a downpipe (which rrm claims is useless).

Bang for buck I say Kamikaze, but if you feel like spending a bit more, go with RPW all the way. But then again, it depends what you're looking for. Are you looking for something that looks good, or something that serves a purpose. If you don't care about the looks, then RPW wins hands down again and again
