Will an EK9 exhaust manifold hang low on an B16A2?

[BigJames]

Will an EK9 exhaust manifold hang low on an B16A2? Also will it require a different cat length to the stock UK cat?

Im just wondering because Id like to buy a J's Racing manifold and am not sure if it will fit on my EM1 coupe properly

the collector size is different, the JDM systems use a 2.5" collector so yes you will need a different CAT

BUT

the jdm Cats are much shorter, this is not due to the manifolds length but the exhaust B-pipe being longer

so ideally you would have to run

-EK9 spec manifold
-JDM CAT (or jdm spec decat)
-JDM spec cat back exhaust, or depending wheat system you are running then just a JDM spec b-pipe (spoon b-pipe is ideal for this as it will mate up to any oem fitament back box)

cannot comment on how low it will hang i'm afraid, although 4-1's generally hang lower than a 4-2-1 which aint so bad
