Default Cant decide... 4-2-1

I am doing an engine swap on my civic with a B18B and I cant decide which header to go with. So I ask fellow honda techers out there that can probably help!

I'm swapping a b18b soon enough and am most likely going with an obx header from ebay or something.

just enough to hold me over until the turbo comes into play

but if you're just using it for long term, definitely go for a more reliable brand (or if you have the money to lol)

How do you know if it will match with your exhaust?

If it doesn't, its no big deal.. I will just have the exhaust re-welded to fit properly. I don't expect any header with this motor swap to fit the one I have now. So its no bid deal.

Most of the time the "headers" will not fit up right to the exhaust piping.

Any local muffler shop came modify the collector or extend the exhaust piping to fit.
