Default aftermarket header with oem crossmember?

i have a 91 crx dx with an obd2 gsr b18c1 swap, can i run an aftermarket header with an oem crosmember?

i had a jdm itr 4-1 but it wouldnt fit with out an aftermarket traction bar kit. ended up selling the jdm 4-1 in order to get a header that will fit.

any suggestions?

or get one on ebay for like 150 that will do the job and that way you don't have to cut. But I think a 4-2-1 header should fit, I don't like them though, I'd rather spend the extra 150 and run a jdm 4-1.

He owns an LS/VTEC CRX with a "performance" air ride suspension

He modified an aftermarket 4-to-1 header with a hammer, but ended up damaging the header

{Also, not really about header clearance}

He drops the front end and raises the rear to help with traction issues at the drap strip

First Jive Dude: **** man, that honky mus' be messin' my old lady... got to be runnin' cold upside down his head. You know?
Second Jive Dude: Hey home, I can dig it. You know he ain't gonna lay no mo' big rap up on you man.
First Jive Dude: I say hey sky, s'other s'ay I wan say?
Second Jive Dude: UH...
First Jive Dude: Pray to J I get the same ol' same ol'.
Second Jive Dude: Eh. Yo knock yourself a pro slick, gray matter live performas down now take TCB'in man.
First Jive Dude: Hey, you know what they say... See a broad, to get that booty yak 'em.
First Jive Dude, Second Jive Dude: Leg 'er down 'n smack 'em yak 'em
First Jive Dude: Cold got to be. You know? Shiiiiit.
