Default b16a->b18c header ?...

i've been searching, but can't find a definate answer to this question...
i know most parts on B series engines are interchangable, so will my DC 4-1 Ceramic B16a header fit the B18c i'm about to drop in?
thanks.

Yes.

The exhaust ports on the B series heads are the same.

The intake ports are the difference.

You'll be fine.

Wha? I thought the b16a header is too short for the b18c?

a b18 header will work on a b16...but not vice-versa...the b18 block is 7mm taller..so the b18 header on a b16 will hang lower (less ground clearance)

I have a DC 4-1 header off a 99 Civic Si (B16) on my B18C1..no problems. On the other hand, a friend of mine couldn't use a Kamikaze B16 header on his B18C1.

So will a stock b16a header fit a b18c? I am confused. I thought when you put a b18c into a 92-95 hatch your supposed to use a b16a header so it will bolt up to your exhaust with no modification. Please help
