Just wondering the different methods every who swapped a B16 into their EF. Which way is the easiest? Test pipe? Cut mouth and extend from Cat? Is there a different Cat that you can use?

Reason why I ask...the easiest way I can see is to make a test/straight pipe. I just can't find anyone here in north SD (Mira Mesa) that will make one for me.

Please post any ideas or email to calejandro27@yahoo.com.

Thanks for any help!!!

 

I used a stock integra xsi/rsi 4-2-1 header that came with my swap mated with a catco hi flow cat and thermal r&d exhaust.

 

i have the b16 swap in my crx also. have the dc 4-2-1 header and am looking for a cat ...should i go with oem or high flow. if i go with catco or another brand will they meet right up or will i need to get the universal and weld the flanges on....

 

It is the easiest. I got it when I got my swap, but it smelled horrible...and I felt bad for polluting.

I ended up putting an stock integra cat in when I got my exhaust, just had it shortened a little.

Thanks for the info. I think I want to go with a hi flo cat. I figure that my car won't get that much louder. I have the HKS on and it's quiet as stock. Putting the hi flo cat won't make my car extremely loud, will it?

 

what's your set up if you don't mind me asking

 

I just bought my EF back about three weeks ago. It's still under construction but I hope to be done with it in a couple of weeks. It's an 89 EF with a SiR front conversion. I have a B16 just squeezin an 80 shot, cam gears, MSD with Blaster and NGK wires. I also have HKS exhaust. I am installing Del Sol seats soon and putting in the shop to be repainted. After that, I'll probably get some Slipstreams and CTR or ITR cams.

I just got back from the muffler shop. I just got the mouth of the stock cat cut and extended. It was an easy fix. He charged me 40 bucks. All is well now. Thanks for all the info.
