I have a 1996 Civic hatchback with a B18C1 engine swap. I want this ITR header http://www.jspecautosports.com...d=104 but am wondering about fitment issues. I know that it will bolt up to the engine no prob, but how will it fit against the cat? The cat is just a standard OEM cat (gutted). How can I get it to bolt up? any kits available? adapters?

 

bump.

 

where my exhaust guru's at?

 

the header will fit without a problem.
your stock oem cat will not fit due to the 2.5 inch collector.
you'll either need to pruchase a jdm itr car and extend it ( it is shorter in length than usdm cats) if you want to retaine a cat or get a test pipe made, bought or fabbed for your set up.

 

thanx

 

So I need this... http://www.passwordjdm.com/pro...eID=1

 

my question now is, how do i extend it? and how much shorter is it?

 

My advice would be to get an Omni test pipe since its goign to give a bit better results than a gutted cat and it has length adjustability.

 

length adustability?! sweet. i'ma check it out, brb...

 

omg man, thanx. this is EXACTLY what i wanted! if i could kiss u i would. j/k, but thanx!

 

NP, just bear in mind that you won't be able to pass CA smog with it.

 

lol, i live in VA baby! magic land of illegal exhausts and cops that don't know any better! plus i'll just throw on my stockers for inspection.

 

Hey, one more question if you don't mind. Which pipe should I order? I have a Apexi WS exhaust, a 96 HB with a b18c1 swap. which car do i order the test pipe for? the integra type-r? the 96 HB? and since i am using the JDM ITR header do i order the JDM spec test pipe? here's the chart of applications: http://www.prostreetonline.com...pipe/ help! lol

 

Just get the one for a 92-00 Civic.

 

i have a jdm itr header for sale 275 shipped

 

its real itr with heat sheild.. not that fake crap your lookin at

 

just go to a muffler shop they will know what to do...unless you can fabricate and by you asking this question i take it you dont...so go to midas 20-30 bucks youll be set.

 

well i can get "that fake crap" for 75 dollars less and it is identical, so i'll go with the brand new, cheaper (and identical) "fake crap" than your exactly the same and used real one.

 

The "fake" one is fine. My buddy(LSVT3K 91 CIVIC) has the real one, and I have the "fake" one. Same damn thing

 

thank you. people seem to forget that brand names don't make more power.

What about materials and build quality?

 

There are a few name brands that do make more power.....RMF, DTR, Hytech, SMS to name a few.

 

but with a bigger price tag than $199
