Depends on the cat's length as that's the "joiner" between the two.

Well here in California I'm pretty sure we have to use the emissions system of the engine we are swapping in so it could be an SI catalytic converter. Will a header made for 99-00 SI work with a 96-98 b16 from hmotorsonline?

So I'm thinking
Apexi WS2 exhaust catback
DC Sports CARB Legal Header made for 99-00 SI
SI catalytic converter

A D16 Catalytic Converter will not be effective to anything other than a d series. Here in California, we have to replace the catalytic converter with a stock or CARB legal catalytic converter for the engine we are putting in our cars.

So for example...
Stock D16 catalytic converter won't work with a B16
Stock B16 catalytic converter won't work with a D16

The Honda Civic or DEL SOL SI has a B16A2. They use a catalytic converter designed for a B16A2 engine. Hence why I said I might buy a stock Del SOL SI or CIVIC SI catalytic converter.
