Default lsvtec header clearances

i have a ls vtec swap in my 98 integra ls,(b18b1 block/99 b16 head). im just curious i have a good deal on some hytech replicas. but im not sure if they will clear the oil pan. the current owner has them on a ls, but when i add the b16 head will they rubb or hit the oil pan or even sit to low for clearance ground wise. also what headers will work for this swap, im goin to be running a 2000 stock gsr exhaust with eletrick cutout. also what other headers will work as far as clearance and performance wise for my swap

Our ls vtec motors are pretty tall but you may have the chance of clearing. Why not test fit it before you buy it or just take the chance and get it. If it doesn't fit, you can probably find a friend or someone else who will buy them. You can even use them on another b series in the future

the reason y i dnt wanna test fit it is because ill b putting the swap in in 2 weeks and im not dropping the motor for it, and if it doesnt work then im gonn ahave to take the swap back off and put ls head back on until i find right header to fit. idk bout other ppl but im not takn chances testng things out like that wanna get straigth answer from sumone who has this swap in there car and can tell me what application headers they have
