95 Integra Need help/knowledge

I recently bought a 95 Integra that needed a lot of work to even run. I just swapped out the engine, but with all the other stuff I had to get also, I couldn't get the B18C like I wanted so I just got the B18B with the plan to swap it again later on down the line.
After about a week, I've finally gotten it to run so now I'm going step by step with what I want to do to it and figured I'd start with an exhaust system.
I'm really digging the Tanabe Medalion Concept G Exhaust.

My question is, will this exhaust fit on the stock manifold of the B18B? Or if not, can I do/get something to make it fit? Or, should I do something else entirely first?

I'm pretty new to tuning so any advice/help is appreciated.

It should but u need to get headers other wise its not ganna do much.You should be able to find some cheap DC Sport headers on ebay,oh and by the way,the headers always support a different tone to the way ur car sounds.

First, welcome to the joy that is the Acura Integra!

Second, I agree with Tanner. New exhaust is an expensive upgrade and it rarely nets you any performance gains. Unless your exhaust is rusting out and needs replacing, I wouldn't bother doing anything with it for now. Instead, I'd go with a ram air intake from AEM and DC Sport headers. The two together will cost you less and you'll make 7-15 more horsepower. You'll like the growl the motor produces after these two components are bolted in as well.

Be sure to stop back by and let us know what you decided on, and if you thought it was worth it.

Thanks dudes, I have another question now that I'm thinking about it. I want to swap the head on the b18b to a gsr head w/ cams and all that good stuff. So if I get headers now, am I going to need a different set once I go vtec?

The GSR head is a different animal from all the others and the headers for the GSR do not fit the LS head. You might want to start by buying the GSR head, then add options from there. If you ever want to go turbo though, consider buying a B16A head instead of the GSR (B18C1). It provides a larger combustion chamber so there is lower compression which is good for a turbo build. This combination is what is commonly referred to as an LS-VTEC.

Yeah I plan to keep it NA so everyone has told me to swap w/ the gsr head.
So you're saying swap the head first and then get gsr headers and so on?
Also, do you know where I can get a vtec kit? Thanks for all the help man.

Yes, pick up the GSR head first, then headers and so forth. As far as a "kit" goes, I don't know of any.

I'm not too familiar with the B18B setup, but did just do a complete GSR swap into my del Sol which had a B16 in it. My intake manifold wouldn't swap over (the bolt holes didn't align) so I had to buy a GSR intake manifold. And there were a lot of other little things on the back side of the motor especially that just didn't carry over like I expected. I got the motor in last night and was disappointed when I found the throttle cable was too long. So now I've got to call the dealership and pick up a GSR throttle cable too. It's not likely you will run into all the issues I did, after all the GSR was made for an Integra and not the del Sol, but talk to others who have done this mod for advice about what you can re-use and what will need to be replaced.
