header on g16b

[dylan1303]

i was looking at getting a header for my suzuki esteem and i came across this http://www.ebay.com/itm/171666590524?_tr...EBIDX%3AIT its the only header that bends the right way to fit my engine. will it make the cel come on. and if it does will it put me in limp mode or can it handle it?

newer cars run most headers AOK, have no issues with EGR, due to no more vacuum EGR bs.
(the egr will work, ok, it's all 99% software now, ecu sees load, on engine and modulate EGR valve to correct rates) easy. (back before 1996 , Vacuum "Rube Goldberg" magic and modulator bull)

looking there.
the 02 is there, but is in wrong place , that is very bad, having that wrong.?
they do sell Esteem B16 headers, why not get one with working 02.

the egr not working (but will in your case) usually does not force limphome , if after 1998, .
in usa.
but other countries have their own ECU. so. is pure programming and laws for your country, the logic is simple; "better it be rich, than nasty toxic NOX. very simple. (rich kills NOX dead.)
Most just fail for P040x errors. and tries it's best to get Stoich, but some countries, forbid this. as NOX is very very bad stuff. and simply drops STOICH closed
loop mode, and runs a tad rich, and with full power, as tad rich rule is natural MAF based, about 12:1 AFR.
in fact can make more power, (and tad less mpg) but is moot point, as your EGR will work.

the 02 bung belongs at the header collector flange, so it measures all cylinders, 02 rates. not just 1.
IMO

So the honda b16 headers fit right up? Any year or model?

the 16v exhausts are all 3 the same, but different, LOL
all fit head.
but they change collector flange.

above posters is a G16B, Esteem that has a totally unique header, but same head.
