Ok well i finally get the Kamikaze header in. Great sound. but now every time i reverse im hearing rattling from the down pipe
anyone know how to solve this without banging it?? is there something i can buy and install. PLease help the rattling is annoying me.

 

had the same happen to me with the downpipe and the frame after installing the Kamikazes. I bought a "downpipe pillow" as they care called at Checker Auto. Its just a rubber ring basically that you place in between the rattling compenets. I got some heavy duty taping job on it, and its worked for awhile now.

when i get the cat back section to my exhaust (RRM.....!!) will the rattling fix itself? maybe?

 

i had the same damn problem..
i took it to a muffler shop...only charged $15.00
no more rattling!

 

Do you know What they did

 

they probably heated the metal up and rebent it so it wouln't rattle on anything

they had to do that with my exhaust and now i have a nice burnt spot on my paint

 

interesting, any other waybesides rebending???
Where the hell do i find a down pipe Pillow in NY

 

they just moved the brackets a lil bit and made a 1/2" clearance

 

Hey guys, try loosing up the header and downpipe and placing a piece of wood or something as a wedge between the parts that are colse, tighten up the header and downpipe, remove the wedge, that works for me. There is alot going on down there in such a cramped area. Robert

 

how do you know if you drive a cavalier?

 

He sells them. The solution could be typical throughout all cars as well.

 

i know ...
i got one from him.
just a unhappy customer

 

That should'nt be happening in the first place though!!!!!

 

All the issues with the kamikazi header seem to have been exposed already and people still buy them...many have no problems. Go fig. If it was problem free I bet they'd sell like hotcackes because supposedly they free up a nice bit of power.

EDIT: ^-- can't even believe I spelled cakes wrong.

 

I wish they were... I would buy one like ASAP if I knew that they were problem free.

 

every car is unique, everything is built with a tolerance, I have heard no one complain the power was too low, the kinks get worked out as they go, the flange issue was dealt with, the other issue are more installation issue, they sell great, a few people complain, hundreds have sold who have no problems, most times its the mechanic
