HELP: Gsr swap in Civic EK
I dropped a '98 gsr motor in a '98 civic coupe. The b-series header/exhaust manifold doesn't fit/line up with the fatory civic cat exhaust. For one thing, it's about 3 inches too short and also the line up is offset by about 2.5 inches. what do i need to do?

someone correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure you can get a gsr exhaust and you should be good. but a d series header wont fit. gsr manifolds are shorter than ls manifolds, thats why gsr exhausts wont fit an ls without modifications in fitment.

just get yourself a LS, B16, or Type R factory manifold and your golden. Or do like the other guys on here say and go to the muffler shop.

Re: HELP: Gsr swap in Civic EK (projectEK9)
Long story short, (shorter header is a gsr) the long header in the pic is the one that was on the engine but has a hole about the size of a quarter when my piston/rod pushed through the block and put a hole in it. apparently that header fit perfectly. perfect length, pefect line up. don't know the name brand or year, the guy before had it on the engine, can't locate the guy. I would like to buy that header for a perfect fit instead of going through all the trouble of the muffler shop. But here are some pics of the problem. and also thanks for all the help so far.
This is actually a '98 type r header from my friend which is on the car right now.

The longer header from the pic actually will give you a perfect fit and alignment. I'v very curious as of what year it was from. If figured out, probably will save a lot of time and money for those puting b-series in eks.
