I am doing a swap of my 99 JDM ITR engine into my 99 civic hatch.

I am wondering if the civic header is shorter or if it has a different deck height than the ITR's?

I am asking this on a bunch of different web forums (only once here), since that is the only way to be sure...

A civic header for a D series block? or a Civic Si/etc header?

 

It says "civic hatch"

That would be a D series.

Someone help me!

 

yes, but I was thinking you might have a b-series header from a b-series powered civic. D series header wont fit.

 

He said it was a civic hatch, but a "civic header" so I thought perhaps he had a b-series civic header, but nope

 

which one? I mentioned two completely different parts.

 

Ok.

Here is my planned setup:

-Tanabe Racing medalion for the civic hatch (already have)
-96-00 Civic 2.5" testpipe (from testpipes.com)
-My JDM ITR header

Is the JDM header going to be any different than the DX header was? Length, height, etc.? Because if it is, then I wouldn't be able to use the civic testpipe.

Know what I'm sayin? Is the testpipe going to fit in there with the ITR header?

 

Alright, I cleaned up the question a little more, I hope that works.

Sorry for asking in here...

 

Much clearer now I've never measured a stock DX header so I can't answer those questions with experience, BUT, I'd guess that the height will def be different and the length has a good chance of being different. But if the testpipe ends up being too long a muffler shop will cut/reweld for a very low price.

 

****...


Are other people on other forums lying or stupid? I asked this Q on a quople different forums, and they all say it will work.. I am clueless now..

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

 

like I said man, I've never measured a DX one so do not take my statement as the gospel truth. I would just imagine that they'd be different, no fact was written there by me. If you give me the measurements of your DX header I can tell you for sure though.

Edit: just the length that is. The height is kinda useless since you're also comparing motors with different deck heights.

Edit2: I like how hybrid ctr's friend can post my IMs to him in attempts to slam me but when I post IMs of hybrid ctr's friend calling me an idiot when I post something correct it gets deleted. Is that proper moderation hybrid?

 

Please IM me

 

What are you talking about???? I'm totally confused
