B16's need back pressure, so any other manifold like that will make you lose power. You need a built motor for a manifold like that anyways. If you are trying to get any other manifold other than stock than I would say get the ITR w/ the 4-2-1 collector.

any inline-four motor needs some form of backpressure to run optimally.

The biggest difference you will notice would be in ur pocket b16 + bolt on = unless u bolting on a turbo . . . but from personal experience your best bet would be to go with the oem itr

The jdm Itr header is a decent header to use for your b16. Im currently running one and love it.
