Default B series headers problem

I got a set of headers from my boy and they were on his b16 and now I got a ls and someone said they wont fit cause a b16 block is shorter and some1 said it will cause it b series so I was wondering if it would fit or no?

Yes it will bolt on to the engine, but as for bolting to the catback, maybe not.

no.
the block deck height from b18 & b16 are different. for that reason a b16 header would never fit a b18. trust me i've done it before. when i did my poor mans r on my 00 si the b16 header didn't fit.

read dude. you just said it yourself...

the b18 block IS LONGER depth wise.

head sizes are the same yes. a gsr header will fit on a b18 head but it will not clear the block itself.

and obviously your b16 is a shorter depth so like i said above it would naturally fit to the head but i guarantee your gsr header is sitting alot lower than a b16 header would.

its got nothing to do with the length of the down pipe its the header itself that is shorter.
