No header is street legal, you're removing a part of the catalytic system. Of the choices, I'd go Kamikaze, but I'd rather get an RRM header or, if money is no problem, RPW.

i have the kamikaze header, and as far as i know it fits fine with no problems. the truth is however, that it only makes minimal gains above 4k and is much louder. research shows that the rpw header is most effective across the powerband but the cost is crazy. if i could do it again, i'd go with the rpw. and thats the truth.!!!!

Once again, you get what you pay for. Kamikaze would be the best of the 2. Personal i didnt know that RPW(dynoed 17hp) was that much better then RRMs. What was RRMs dynoed @? I've never seen anything posted about it.

OH, and remember RRM was great customer service... minus the 2 month order on the K-bar before i was informed they was Out of stock. OR the piggy back that throws CEL.

Over a week on my Stage1 cam order... no word on shippment.. (Strike 3?)

just asking, cause if you do plan on going turbo, save your money, don't get any of those headers. it'll just be pointless unless you're going RRM turbo kit and then you can use their header. as for the others, just scratch it.

Yeah I got my header like 2 years ago on sale so it's not a big deal for me. I think RRM is actually phasing out the use of the header in turbo kits, I believe they now have a manifold.
