Default front lower tie bar and 4-1 header clearence?

I found a DC sport 4-1 header for very cheap locally and I'm wondering if anyone's had any clearence issues with them and a front lower tie bar? It's already almost touching my 4-2-1 so I'm assuming its going to be VERY tight with a 4-1 if it'll even fit at all. Tried to search but didn't come up with anything. Any experiences or pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Try it, if it doesn't fit, then go with the integra front subframe bar. It bolts up to the front subframe. Look down where the lca's meet the subframe and you will see two holes (on each side) just sitting there. That's where the bar goes

I got mine today for $15 off a GSR and it made my handling a little bit crispier and the car feels a little tighter thru turns, specially around town.

its very very tight.

my motor would hit upon accelleration but after some new motor mount inserts, it doesnt touch.

neuspeed bar with 4-1 dc headers stock d16 motor.

the header will eventually melt part of the bar down. if it doesnt fit completely, have a little bit of the bar off or dont run it.

what does this have to do with suspension? (tie bars are not even part of the suspension)

post this in integra or tech section.
