Default Why wont my header fit? wrong one?

I got a header for free from a friend, he told me it would fit a b16. When i got my old one off and sat them side by side for comparison, the new header was considerably shorter. The top by the exhaust ports is a perfect match however.

What do i need to make this fit? it is about 8 inches from touching the cat.

different car/model..... you can have an exhaust shop make you a pipe to fit between that to fill the gap

they dont fit, the pipes are like a few millimeters off...

It looks like ill have to extend the exhaust, although i would rather keep everything fitting like oem...

So thats for a GSR?

Unless it's something like the old Spoon top section that was designed to bolt up to the OEM bottom half of the manifold, it almost definitely won't fit. It's pretty clear from the photos that the flanges are positioned at different angles, so that's not really a viable option.

jadugartir, I really wouldn't bother going through the effort or expense of modifying the header or the exhaust in order to install it. It doesn't appear to be anything special, so it would be far easier to simply sell it and pick up an inexpensive replacement if that's indeed what you're looking for.

That's about as incorrect as it gets.

'94-'99 GS-R manifolds are shorter than other B-series.

'00-'01 GS-R, '94+ LS/GS/RS, '97+ USDM ITR, and '99-'00 Si are all the same length.

All of the '94+ USDM Integra cats are the same length (roughly 17.5" - 17.75"). The differences are in the lengths of the exhaust manifolds and the B-pipes.
