your exhaust diameter won't make a difference.
the engine mount insert kit is well worth it in my book. they are polyurethane pieces that fill in the gaps of three of your engine mounts. there's one for the rear mount, lower tranny mount, and a/c bracket mount. this will stiffen up the mounts to prevent them from ripping and make your engine for sturdy.
on my first swap, i didn't buy them, and two of my mounts started to rip.

Thank a million homy, you cleared my mind about a couple of things there. You told me exactly what I needed to know dude 
thanks too for the quick reply. Hey man what you sayin. Us canucks arn't all out to screw you....haha. Nice I can't believe they thought they could get away with that shit. I found some interesting faqs on www.hondata.com a couple of nights ago so now at least I will be able to tell the proper ECU and connectors thus hopefully verifying the right motor. I also found out finally how to determine, by looking, if its an LSD tranny as well. Bastards better not mess around!!

Nice Super. They started to rip....mmmm...not good. That must have been a piss off! How hard is it to install them after the swap? I'm running out of the money thang here. Even so should I invest now and save some headache later??

Also if I should get an insert kit this would be one for the B18 mounts right. Rear and tranny. I don't need to worry about the A/C<< she is gone gone gone away

h: Leave the power steering out too. And just get/make one of those kits for a breather so the shaft stays wet(wow that sounds dirty:naughty: ).
