I have a quick question and I could not find the exact answer I was looking for. A lot dancing around the answer and some pics that I couldn't really use.
My friend has a gsr, and I have an LS, he is offering me his headers, for a great price. Will they fit my LS and also what type of exhaust gasket should I use if I can use his headers

yell at me if you want I don't care, I just need a quick yes or no

 

Yes, it will fit the engine, but I'm not sure if it will fit up to the cat.

The GSR has a longer(?) header than the LS, I think... don't quote me on that, sorry this is so vague...

Bump for someone who's smarter than me!

 

no that's great. I heard somewhere that it wouldn't fit up to the cat because of length, I was planning on getting a gsr cat, or aftermarket gsr cat for it. You answered my question


now does anyone know which exhaust manifold gasket I should use? LS or GSR?

 

What are the years of each car and are they both 3-door hatchbacks or 4-door?

 

Take a looky here... Integra Header comparison


as long as the chassis is the same, this will show you the header length. 94-99 GSR manifolds are NOT interchangeable with another chassis except another 94-99 GSR.

 

so pretty much what you're saying, is if it is a 4dr, that it won't work because of the length of the exhaust for a 4dr. I have a 2dr, he has a 4dr. I just read that entire post and the only thing that it talks about is the difference in the exhausts being longer. If that is the case and I do custom pipping will it really matter if the header is from a 4dr or 2dr?

dont quote me on this, but im pretty sure the header is gonna fit just fine if your gonna do custom piping any ways right?

 

that's what I'm saying
unless there is a problem where the cat mounts

 

if you are doing custom piping then it'll be fine. Whoever makes your exhaust piping will put the hangers in the correct places.
