Default B20BVTEC header

Anyone know what is the ideal 4-2-1 header for B16 head with B20b block engine. I'm thinking to get the maximum power around 7000-7500rpms. I mean does anyone know what is the diameter of pipe I should use for the header and then also the diameter pipe for exhaust? My engine is pretty much stock and I'll stay N/A in the future. Thanks.

if you want more high end power then you want a 4-1 header

I can't run 4-1 header cause I'm using PR3 ECU.Means the O2 sensors located on cylinder 1&4 the other is in 2&3.

A B16 header will not clear the B20 block.

All B-series exhaust manifolds use the same bolt pattern. The only difference is the B16 header is shorter because the block is shorter than the B18 or B20 blocks.

Also, you have to take into consideration the cat location. 94-99 GSR exhaust manifolds don't have the O2 sensor in them, but the 00-01 GSR and 94-01 LS do. The exhaust manifolds with the O2 sensors in them have a longer collector to compensate for the cat being farther back.
