i am trying to figure what header to purchase.. has anyone installed the jdm dc header on a b series engine in a crx?

 

yup... small cut made to front crossmember.

 

how is the ground clearance with the jdm dc's compared to normal dc 4-1's? and what mount kit are u using?

 

Any brand or make of the 4-1 style header in an EF sucks *** for ground clearance. Unless its a custom job like SMSP or DTR fab but those are 1k$ plus.

 

yeah i figured but i didnt know if the jdm version was alot worse than the standard 4-1's... and yes i know sms are great for ground clearance.. they are big dollar suff.. i seen some of the prototype sms headers a few years ago.. they are very nice piece's... thanx for ur help ill just have to buy the jdm version and install them and see how they fit...

 

Theres some ground clearance. 88 crx, 4-1 header 3" collector, 2 inch drop. b18c engine. mounts are Sir's welded on. (same placement as hasports).
Thats what it took to clear the header, it should have cleared no problem with jimfab bar. I can still jack up the car using the cross member without it flexing so dont go saying its weak or that ****. You can still see my tools underneeth the car, i hadnt finished shortening exhaust yet. Header didnt bolt right up.

From what I've seen here, DTR header has a good ground clearance, these pics are from someone here (I hope its okay, didn't ask for his permission though )

I beleive his is a EF Civic with a B-series swap,

Yes it is a EF with B series.
