i've heard that the kamikaze is pretty useless on NA motors but is good for sc motors.
when they say 4-5 more hp than dc, it could be true, but it could mean, for example, the kamikaze maybe makes 4-5 more at 3k rpm but then dc sports could make more throughout the rest of the powerband (they just don't tell you that). But either way they're still making more at 3k so they can say they make more power. i don't know for sure, i'm just saying that, cause a lot of companies say they make more than this and that, very tricky

ok? so y is it pointless to bolt on 7.7 WHP on a civic EX? y is header bad for a SOHC but good for the DOHC??
i have read that the LandSpeed PowerCore anD DC sports headers are great 7+ hp in 96 civic EX with pretty high mileage

also hear is the comparison for most of the Available Header's for D series Civics
http://www.hadamotorsport.com/tech/review/dsemc/
BUT again please tell me y it isnt worth it?
because in the full article they said that highway driving was a lot better, didnt have to downshift to accelerate even driving up a fairly steep hill in 5th gear.
so i really dont understand how it isnt worth it. Most people spend more on an exhaust for 2whp then they would for a good header for 7whp.
