Default search is down, quick swap question.

so i have almost all my parts for my swap, 88hf + b18a. the swap i bought didn't come with an exhaust manifold, so what is the best option on the cheap? will a stock teg manifold work with my rad support(i think thats the clearence issue), or will i need to notch it? is there a certain model integra that will work better(certain year)? sould i pick up an ebay 4-1 header for somewhat cheap? i couldn't find any 4-2-1 on ebay(cheap).

i have the stock top half of the 4-2-1 manifold, so i think my cheapest option would be to find the lower half of the stock manifold, but will it fit?

thanks

ps search is down, so i came here.

hehe, well the swap was on pause for a while. turns out i bought a 92 teg b18 which i thought was still obd0 but its obd1 haha. so itsnot just a swap. its a swap and conversion haha. oh well. anyways i have all the parts i need for the conversion now and i have swapped the harness, so its just a matter of banging the framerail and droping her in. ahh can't wait.
