it will fit to the block, but it will extend lower below the engine than one that was made for the b16a.

yeah i can tell you exactly if it fits. NO!!!! it does not not fit i just bought one for my b16 in my crx and there is no even driving down the street without a dent un the header. mine was drivin around a nieghborhood block and parked at my house again and there are huge dents in the header. i mean like half the piping is bent in. mine was a 4-1 header tho. those are going to hang lower than a 4-2-1

actually, it does fit, it just hangs low. The 1.8 blocks are physically taller than the 1.6 block. I wouldn't buy anything but a 4-1, unless of course you get a 4-2-1 thats like the smsp header like I have. It's a whole 'nother banshee.
Stay with the 4-1.

mine is a jdm 4-1 header and it definately rides low. ive already dented it a good bit but i think it should be good now..i need to get the back lowered so itll even out some. i have to take different routes around town now cuz some roads are just really bad.

2poor2tune hows your exhaust sounding with your new header?? i took mine to get tightened the day after i had the car runnin and i think theyre already loose cuz i think air is escaping

2poor2tune · #7 07-02-2006, 10:25 AM

huh. mine is to the point where im buying a new one if i keep my car becuase that is way to low more my. an inch and a half maybe that much room

Do NOT get a 4-2-1 header. It's garbage. 4-1's outflow the 4-2-1's from 5k on up.

2poor2tune · #12 07-02-2006, 05:08 PM

yeah it obviouse they would flow better. good luck with whatever you need man

h22hatch91 · #13 07-03-2006, 01:47 PM

yes, a B16 header is a B16 header. Same thing. If you plan on running two 02 sensors, you may need to weld an extra bung in...which is no big deal.
