What header will fit in my EF with b18c?
I bought a jdm itr 4-1 header and it didn't fit because there are no room infont. 
So, i was wondering if anybody know what kind of header should i get? I was thinking about the JG header 4-2-1, will that fit? Thank You

This is how my stock crossmember looked like when I banged it to fit the jdm 4-1 header... 
I later replaced it with one from PlaceRacing. (cheapest I found)...Just a friendly advice, do not sacrifice performance for fitment or settle on a header just because it fits with no modification. Just my .02...To answer your question, a DC header for a Bseries motor should fit without further crossmember mods.

Re: What header will fit in my EF with b18c? (FRESH)
the 4th mount will only work on PlaceRacing crossmembers if you have the same brand engine mounts. I have the newer Hasport billet mounts and they're 1/2 an inch taller. Anyway, i'm from the Bay Area too so if you want my old banged crossmember, you can have it. It's in my garage somewhere collecting dust...

Header sticking out on the bottom has nothing to do with the crossmember. Using the Hasport billet mounts will raise your motor about half an inch which would probably help a bit but I'd definitely recommend getting a header shield, top and bottom. They usually go for about $75...worth the money.

yea i know that the header sticking out from the bottom have nothing to do with the crossmember. I just want to know how does your look. Cuz i think if i do get the placeracing crossmember then i will have room infont but sticking out from the bottom. And plus, the bad thing is i cut and weld my mounts.

This is a Comptech 4-2-1 on a B16 mounted with an HCP kit-
It leaves a good 2+" of clearance.

Hey Abaz, how does your kamakazi 4-1 header feel? I mean the spec of the header.
