K20A2 in an EP3... what header?
I have a 2002 EP3 with a K20A2 in it. I want headers and exhaust for the performance and connections to the K20A2, but obviously they have to run under the hood and chassis of an EP3. How impossible is this? Most people tell me that it's going to be hard to put a header behind that engine, but I feel like I have a good bit of room back there. I suppose I need to measure that all out, but I'd like to get some suggestions on a header that won't take up much room, and thus will work with my setup, and a quiet, but good exhaust that will work for my EP3. As far as budget goes, let's not get crazy, but I want performance, reliability, and average pricing (I don't want to get a great deal on a piece of **** part.) Any suggestions?
Thanks, from a noob.

I get the feeling that you don't know that the basic dimensions of the EP3 and DC5 are the same.
Any header that is well recommended for the K20A2 in the RSX will work perfectly well in your EP3.

No, I didn't. I have a big sign here, to the left of my post, that kinda sorta explains how much I know about these cars. That's why I joined the site, though. I'm eager to learn .

Oh, and what about the exhaust? EP3, yes? Suggestions on diameter, considering the engine swap? Suggestions on good brands to take a look at? Best for price, best for quality, etc? This is my DD, but I still want to have some fun in it. Thanks again.

K20A3's don't have 6 speed manual transmissions...
I promise that I have a K20A2 in my Civic, yes it is an engine swap... hence my position in the hybrid forum.
