Ok but don't have your down pipe made until everything is installed. B/c you will have clearance issue. You want to get your down pipe made last. If your doing with a dump tube I recommend spending the money on the electric one. So you can still use it on the street but when need to be quite you can be. OR you if you are going to use a EMS have it wired to open ONLY when the turbo is spooling. So then you can run a stock exhaust and have a killer sleeper.
I'm thinking about doing that with my cb when I get the f20b swap all together. Run a 2.25' exhaust with a OEM RSX type S muffler and right be4 vtec engages have the dump tube open up. So I still retain the little amount of tq. the f20 makes and can be as free flowing as it needs to be for higher RPMs

Yeah they will have my car during the fabrication process to ensure fitment.

What are your plans with the f20? Why not go with a h22?

my issue is finding a h22 trans. I refuse to use a f series trans. But I can't find a H trans for decent price....everyone wants a arm and leg for them. I'm trying to find one with a LSD since I will need it...b/c aftermarket LSD are as much as a use H trans ($600-800)

find a junk yard one and rebuild it.

your going to want the h22 gear ratios to keep in vtec with your setup. no way you can get away with a f22 unless you boosted.
