I am looking to buy a header and downpipe. I have read alot on this forum about mixed reviews for the Kamakazi header and downpipe. But most complained about the installation of this product. Most of you also recommend RPW products .. I was looking on Ebay and www.bigjoshracing.com is selling the kamakazi set for 250. Is it worth it or should I just hold out. New to this so want to get positive feedback.

 

Any improvement over stock is good. I've heard good things about bigjoshracing and the kamikaze header/dp, the gains, IMO are too small on this car for me to spend my money on it, but if you want a little more HP it will do fine. Put this with the PB unit you posted about earlier to get the best results tho

 

I've got the Kamikaze Header/Downpipe and can't complain. RPW has the best dyno so far, and it doesn't cause a Cel either.

But Kamikaze is definetly a good choice.

 

RRM baby!

 

Posts like this are why there is so much confussion. I personally don't know which is best although if I was to buy I would go Kamakazi or RPW.
Im almost positive that nobody on this site has drove a signafficant distance (5000-10,000) on all three and collecting data. Making a good comparisiom of all things like performance, reliability, effects on car, noise and cost.

Untill that is done (and I'd want to see all the data to believe it is un biast) you have to come to the realization of 3 possibilities for peoples answers.

1. "I have it so its the best"
b) "I have it and I like it" <---the most accurat technical answer that I have seen
2. Everyone else talks about the product so they jump in with there opinions that carry no facts to make themselves look smarter
b) They are distributers, sponsored, the manufacturers themselves, or have some connection or reason to support the product (maybe even think if they bost about a product they know nothing about they will get a good deal from the company
3. They read it somewhere else on the board


Just remember that when reading any information that compares products. It happens all the time.
