ground clearance

[steve]

hey guys, read sumwhere that when installing headers designed 4 b18's on2 b16's abit of ground clearance is lost, jus wondering wether this loss is just at the bottom of the header or does it cause the whole exhaust to drop ie cat etc? thanx

[nobbs]

im got 4-1 headers on my b16a, they sit very very low to the ground, they sit about 3-4 cm lower than the stock ones, so if ur cars lowered it will scrape in some places (mine do, but my car is pretty low)

[PhatSol]

The deck height of a B18 block is 7mm shorter than a B16A block isn't it? Therefor e a B18 headder would sit 7mm lower if you put it on a B16A.

[garett]

if it were only 7mm diff it wouldnt be that bad would it???

so can you put headers which are made for a b16a onto a b18c?
or do they sit too close to the engine>?

yea b16a n b18c7(type r) can use same headers from wot i understand, only thing dif is the ground clearance, i think
