Default What Headers touse on b18c1 into obd2 civic 4dr

hey guys as some of u might know im gettin a b18 swapped into the HeavyCivic and having it converted to stick

everything is going fine so far
motor dropped in easily enuf, pedals are in, wiring is done

i have no power steering until i buy a new pump but thats not that big a deal

i have come across one small problem...the gsr headers i got dont reach the cat
there's about a 7" gap from the downpipe to the cat

i either have to get my headers extended or i have to find the right kind of headers to use

im sure someone has seen a 99 4dr with a b18 swapped into it

so can anyone tell me what headers to use? 99 SI? LS?

otherwise im stuck extending my gsr headers which is fine but i would rather get the right headers.

any help is appreciated

i am having them extended
im just concerned with how long they will last and whatnot

if i could find the right headers to use i would rather get them but if extending the ones i have is the only option then i will have to do that

they'll last as a piece of metal would last.

A VERY long time. Also steel pipe is cheap enough for you to replace every year, if you want.
