i just wanted to know if a b16 header will fit onto my b18ls motor.

sorry for the noob question

 

YEs but its shorter in length I believe

 

I believe all B series headers will bolt to the head but you might need to make adjustments when it comes to the catalytic converter.

 

the b series header will bolt to the block. the intake manifold bolts to the head. right?

WHAT?.........but yea you can bolt the header up you might have to modify alittle where the header bolts to the exhaust.....i have a b16 header on my car but for some reason the header angles to the right alittle bit and i had to redirect my exhaust

 

I could have sworn the exhaust manifold (header) bolts to the HEAD.Thats why we call it a header right?

You are oh so correct. Both the intake manifold and exhaust manifold bolt to the head.

As for B16 fitment, like ProjectTeg said, it doesn't fit as well as other B18 headers. I have heard of people having problems using a b16 header on a b18 due to the oil pan getting in the way. The b18 is a little taller then the b16 (distance from the header to the bottom of the oil pan). It probably depends on the manufacturer of the header, I have seen a DC 4-1 b18 header on a b16, and there was a lot of room between it and the oil pan. However, if a manufacturer made a b16 header that mounted very close to the b16 oil pan, it might rub on the b18 oil pan ever so slightly.

 

its a dc 4-1 b16 header. i guess my best bet would be to just try it???
