hi, all. i'm going to do a B16a swap into my 1990 Si. now, i know everything i need, BUT does the header/downpipe match up to the cat or will i need a longer cat? i've heard yes and no. btw, it's a 1st gen B16 and using a Hasport mount kit. thanks.

btw, ordering motor from jspecjdm.net

IF you are using stock B16 header and stock SI catback then it will need to be modified. I had to take mine to a muffler shop and have the fwd cat flange extended and it also needs to be turned. Make sure you use thoes spring bolts when you reconnect the flanges.

thanks. that helps me a lot with what i need to know.. is there any way i can get a "bolt up" setup like using a 99-00 Si cat? just throwing out a suggestion. thanks.

I know this post is old but I also have the same question..
I'm doing a b16a1 in my 88 rex and when I do the swap I'm buying new headers and a high flow cat.
What headers and cat should I buy so that they all bolt on together to my greddy exhaust nice and neat and what not??
Please and thank you.
