Default issue with obx jdm 4-1 header wit h22a swap in 5th gen CD

Maybe I am the first one to try out the obx 4-1 one piece header for prelude SH.
Did anyone else try this combination? I want it to straight bolt on to my exisiting cat.

But while I was installing it yesterday, I am having hard time clear the front crossmember. The only option looks like is to pull the engine out again. and maybe grind down abit of cross member to make the header clear.

If anyone encouter the same problem, let me know, or share your knwoledge here is appreciate.

You should get a new header before you go through all that work.

I've heard OBX isn't that great... but I could be wrong. I'd rather replace a header than an entire engine.... just me though.

well, this is a swap related question.
I am just asking if anyone has the same setup on their ride cuz i encouter problem when i try to install the header with my H22a swap.

The header itself looks awesome, and dirt cheap as well. perfect swap header!
