Default LS SWAP/HEADER DOESN,T FIT

I just did a ls swap on my 95 civic four door last night.Problem is my header angles the cat up at the floor and there is a gap about an inch between the exhaut system and the cat.On top of that the bolt holes for the cat don't line up either.I am using an AIRMASS header stock civic cat and an AIRMASS civic exhuast.Has anyone ever had this gap problem or know of a header that will solve the problem?are the integra and civic cats different?any help would be greatly appreciated.
also will i be able to run a jdm integra type r header and keep my ac?

deck height is different and you need a different header or a longer cat/test pipe.

deck height has nothing to do with this....UNLESS header is not flush on the head.....

a b16 header for a b16 WILL NOT WORK....it is 7 mm short due to the fact the b16 is 7mm shorter than the ls/gsr/b20/itr

jdm type r header Will work. If you are having probs making the b16 fit under neeth use a b16 oil pan on the ls bottom end.

get a LS cat and that will take care of the gap but there shouldnt be a problem in the deck height of the header to the exhaust unless somethings not lined up right
