Default EK's with B-Series Swaps: What Header Cat/Straight Pipe Combo Are You Guys Running

I have a 97 DX Hatch with a B20. Right now i'm running a 95 JDM GSR header, bolted to the factory DX B-Pipe (cut and added about 6"s). I picked up a JDM 4-1 Header, and i'm going to pick up the JDM ITR cat (2.5") and JDM ITR B-Pipe today.
Question:
I heard the 4 door B-Pipe fits EK Hatchbacks with no mods, and the 2 door ITR is about an inch short. Can anyone agree?

Also, just wondering what everyones running.

Thanks
Alex

I had a 16 with a Comptech header, Si Cat with a Tanabe RM. I measured everything and brought the piping to a muffler shop and had him cut about 5 inches off and bevel the edge.

I think the JDM 4-1 header fits with stock cat length and piping from the Civic. You just need a 2.5 inlet cat. I think ITR b-pipes are the same length as Civics. Why not just get aftermarket exhaust?

Okay exhaust set up is done for now, got it all put on tonight!

-JDM 4-1 Header (2.5" Collector)
-JDM 4 Door ITR Cat (2.5" Collector)
-JDM 4 Door ITR B-Pipe
-Spoon Muffler

The 4 door b pipe is about 1" longer than the 2 door. It bolts up perfect on an EK hatch, no mods needed to fit. The JDM 4-1 header is about 4" longer than the GSR header.

OT: I now have a 4 door ITR muffler for sale. This does NOT fit on my hatch, but might fit on a coupe, and will fit on an integra. PM or post here with offers.

Thanks for everyones help
-Alex
