Header MAY switch over. B18's are taller than B16's, so you will probably be banging off of all sorts of things due to how much lower the header will be on the B16.

Intake manifold will NOT swap over.

Also, Stick with the B18B, You will miss the torque if you go to a B16

Keep the B18B. Don't LS/VTEC it. Either go boost, or do nothing IMO.
