Default Will my header fit my new B16A?

Ok, I got this for my 1.5l (Honda Civic 1992-95 EX/DX/LX/Si ~ HHC5013) before I even thought of swapping. Now I have a B16A. So will it bolt up to it?

So uh, would I have to look for a SI-R II header? Not just SI?

:9 I'm kinda confused but I'll tkae your guys' word for it. So, a header for a 95 Si, won't fit a 95 SI-R II engine? Instead I'd need a 96-00? What am I gonna do with a 5 moth old header....damn..alright thanks guys.

You're not looking at it the right way. A 95 Si uses a D16Z6 engine. An Si-R II (which is a stupid way to term is, btw), a.k.a. B16A2 is a completely different engine. They have different heads completely and the block height is differernt.

You have to get a header for the '99-'00 Si because that's what header fits the B16A engine.

Bah, I'm just in denial. I totally forgot to look at it engine wise. Oh, well. I just painted the header and cleaned out the inside. I'll sell it on ebay for like 50$ or something, it only has like 4k miles on it.

Any b-series header will bolt up. If you think you may be upgrading to a b18 of some sort in the distant or not so distant future, I'd reccomend getting a b18c header instead of the b16a one. Depending on the manufacturer, some b16 headers will not fit a b18, but all b18 headers should fit a b16 or any other b-series.
