Default b18c1 into 96 civic EX swap question...

i've looked and i can't find an exact answer to this question.
i take it my exhaust will fit with some slight cat modification, but will my AEM cold air fit without getting a different intake manifold?
also, are there any negatives that come along with this swap?
loss of a/c etc...
thanks.

you can keep your a/c and power steering with a 18C swap.

I don't believe the AEM Cold air will fit. 2.5" for the Civic and 3" for the Teg's.

You will have to extend your exhaust about 2" if you are using the GSR cat. I hear the LS cat and down pipe fit to the stock civic exhaust without having to extend it but i havent independantly verified this.

The AEM intake for the civic is too small for the GSR throttle body and in the wrong location anyway. An AEM for the GSR can be made to fit the civic chassis with a little cutting.
