I don't think it will, but buy it anyway and if it doesn't fit sell it on eBay for $200 and put that money toward one that does fit. :evillol:

It will bolt up, but it is a little bit taller, if your car is lowered a lot, it may cause a clearance issue.

Just buy it and if it doesn't fit, then sell it, you can get 150-200 for it easy.

YES, the header will fit and bolt onto the head. The problem lies at the flange where it bolts to the cat. You'd need either a Teg cat or test pipe.

B series head bolt patterns are the same. VTEC and non-VTEC alike. I have a JDM 98 Spec ITR header and bought the JDM cat because the patterns at that end are different. Just try to install and you'll see what I mean. Sh*t, it's only 50 bucks.

Look dude, the intake manifold bolt patterns are different between the GSR's and PR3 heads (B16A/CTR, ITR), The exhaust manifold bolt pattern is the same. The flange at the cat, and the height are the difference's.

ok so for sure now the dc header from my friends ls engine will bolt up to the "HEAD" fine only problem will be the cat lining up if that is the case then its fine im going to weld the header to the cat anyhow...

Look man, It's only $50 bucks, shit. Sense you are so worried about it's fitment, buy it, if it doesn't fit, I guarentee that you can find someone to sell it to for the same price of $50, easy. Thats a $350-400 header new. Heck, you could sell it for like $150 probably and make a profit it it doens't fit. I mean geez, It's not hard to find a buyer for it at that price, should it not fit.

its gonna sit taller.

Q:will it bolt up
A: Yes

Q: will it properly fit?
A: No

Q: Why
A: Cause the LS header will sit taller. If your car is dropped low, it will suck ass. Cant you just hear the metal to asphalt scraping already :grinno: Also im pretty sure your gonna have problems with the cat to header connection due to the LS header sitting taller.

Q:What would I do?
A: Buy the header and sell it on Ebay, then buy me a header that will fit and bolt up properly.
