Default 97 Ex Sedan B20B Swap...

So because of some overtime at work... I decided to do a B20B swap in my 97 Civic Ex Sedan!!! I'm doing this swap mainly "just because" but I want all the benefit's of a B20B bolted to a B16 trans. has to offer in STOCK TRIM. Mountain's, ton's of stop light's, and running the AC on a wore out SOHC is getting on my nerves!!!

PART'S LIST:
99 JDM B20B (147hp)
99-00 Civic Si Trans., axles, half-shaft, shift linkage, 2 post motor mount
94-01 Integra Flywheel, LS Intake Manifold, Fuel Rail
94-95 Integra OBD1 ECU (already had the conversion harness)
98 CR-V "P7J" AC Bracket

ON ORDER:
Exedy Stage 1 Clutch Kit (just ordered)
ARP Pressure Plate & Flywheel bolts (just ordered)
CompleteTiming Belt Kit (just ordered)

Gonna use my 97 Ex wiring harness, and a B series torque mount for the trans.

***So my real question is!!!! Will the OEM Exhaust Manifold on the B20 match up to the STOCK EXHAUST at the cat on my civic??? The importer where I bought my motor said it would!!! Really need a DEFINITE ANSWER on this!!!!***

How hard would it be to take it to a shop if it doesn't? Not very. His answer was legit and the importer already gave you an answer before you even posted this.

Or you could have done a simple Google search like I did.

I understand his answer is legit... BUT You know as I do half the answer's on here & over the internet are WRONG. I REALLY would like not to have to go that route!!! I can't be the only person on this site that want's what I want!!! I understand there has been over 200 people that have looked at this thread & not answered but maybe they just settled for going to the muffler shop and spending money to cut & weld their exhaust... The one's that go the extra mile get the cleaner set ups!!!

And by the way I do search maybe I don't key in the right phrase to turn up the info you posted but I do search.
