Choosing an exhaust kit...help.

[CB7freak92]

Okay.
I'm doing an engine swap, and I definitely need to replace my exhaust. I'm putting an h23a1 out of '93 prelude into my CB7 ('92) and I'm hoping to convert it to stick. Does anyone know where I can find the right exhaust so it will still line up with the headers? and if anyone makes a "kit" for converting from automatic to manual?

The auto exhaust is the same as the Manual exhaust . . .

As for exhaust, the HEADER will have to fit the H23. I don't know if the F22 and the H23 have the same bolt pattern.

They do not have the same bolt pattern.

then how does a F22A header fit a F22B DOHC, practicably the same engine.

Also, there is no store bought kit for auto to 5 spd, go to a jy and get the parts or hit up the classifieds here, plenty of members selling 5 spd parts

quick way to find out - goto the parts store and compare gaskets.

f22a/f22b dohc/h23 all have the same exhaust manifold spacing.

Might want to try and call hmotorsonline so you can get the shifter cables and shifter assembly

there are a bunch of options for exhaust. but as far as a header goes, you will need a header that will fit the engine you are installing as everyone stated. but best thing to do with an exhaust is find a muffler you want and if you need/want any catalytic converters or resonators then get those and take em all to a muffler shop with your header installed and have them fab up a custom exhaust.

Auto > 5 speed swaps arent offered in kits. Like the others, go to a junkyard and get the parts you need. There are good how to's on how to do it and what you need for the swap.

Best of luck to you

Opps My bad. You are right. I am thinking of a H22 exhaust mani. H22's and H23 manifolds have different spacing. Spacing on the F22/H23 is like 0000. On the H22 its like 0 00 0 im pretty sure. Or is is that the F23? Someone correct me if im wrong. Been a while since I been in the CB7 game as i got 4 cars I been doing a lot of mods on lately. Sorry bout the mixup.

Yes, H22AX different. All others, even DOHC H23 will work.

I've found that the upper part of the manifold for the BX is shorter than those for the AX.

Also I've heard of clearance issues with the lower front crossmember.

In terms of your trans swap; best bet would be to research online, search around in here, and then make your best judgement on what parts you'll need. JY's are good for that, just make sure to not skimp or skip especially with the big details like boosters, hardware, and finicky lines and hoses. It is much easier to convert to MT than the other way around so that much you have going for you already.
