Best quote of the day, by far.

I had it on my car for 2 years, and the previous owner had it on his for who knows how long. It still looked very decent, and still did the job it was intended to do.

Con:
The material used to build it is thinner than RRM so it is running louder and hotter that RRM's.

After installing it on a friend's car, I'm not happy with Kamikaze either. Fitment wasn't great. It's a good deal and I'm sure any problems can be worked around if you're inventive, but I was hoping for a better product. The DP shouldn't be hitting/rattling when you pay for a retail product.

I have heard some bad things about kamikaze header setups. mostly cracked pipes and clanking downpipes etc. I would rather get a product where i am almost assured great quality.

That's like saying my Lancer is better than yours because I ran mine on a dyno and you didn't.
Your right about the flow testing my bad... I was under the impression RRM designed theirs to flow better. Oh well. Trust me going turbo is better and cheaper. Check out my sig for why I say this.
