Question about header ftiment?
I have a 99 Civic with a B-series swap. This may sound stupid but I thought I would ask anyway. Will an aftermarket header like Greddy or DC stick out the same amount as a Stock header? The reason I ask is that the other day I tried to take my heat shield out and could not, The a/c fan was in the way. I was just wondering if an aftermarket header will fit in there fine? I am worried it wont.
Is there anything I can do to get the heat shield/header out without messing with the A/C? And no I am not going to take away a/c.
Here are pics of how tight the spot is:

bend those hard lines out of the way slightly. you won't hurt anything.
greddy/dc, in fact most mass produced brand-name aftermarket headers will work without major mods.

you have probly never gotten your hands dirty before.
Take the upper core support, radiator and fans out, and push those ac lines out of the way.
this will give plenty of room to work and should fit perfect.

and that extra space might reveal how simple replacing your header really is.
