I just recently purchased an EF with a B series motor swapped into it. Originally, it came with DC Sport 4 into 1 headers and the bottom two pipes were practically crimped. I have recently switched to a JDM ITR header with a skid plate on the bottom of it. This header has better clearance by a hair. Car has coilovers its pretty stiff, car is low but not that low (not as low as i would normally have it), and I'm still pretty much scrapping the skid plate(on huge bumps and pot holes SF streets says it all) and afraid that it might work its way to the header. The car also has "some" kind of motor mount kit, not sure as to what they are but heard that the Hasport mounts would give a few milimeters more of clearance but may have to find a way so the hood would clear. Hoping to keep the 4 into 1 set up and not do the 4-2-1 if possible.

Long story short, just wondering if anybody else has a similar set up and how are you getting the ground clearance without sacrificing too much? Thanks!

 

Do you have a B16? A B18 header on a B16 usually makes it sit a little bit lower.
