Hey guys I'm doing a swap on my 91 coupe. It came with a ka24de but its beyond repair so I bought a running ka from a member on here.
I was planning on dropping it in, but the engine i purchased is a '95 and the Exhaust manifold wont connect to my (headers?) exhaust piping. Can i just swap the exhaust manifold or should i just get a new downpipe and weld it to my exhaust etc.
Thanks for the help guys. I apologize if this is very obvious

woot thanks man.. also. just another question. i tried removing the piping thats connected to the exhaust manifold but i can only find that a cresent wrench will fit and it just keeps stripping. any tips to remove it? besides WD40 or any other spray shit that removes rust etc.

91-94 s13 ka24de and the 95+ ka24de exhaust headers are different in the way it connects to the cat converter. The s13 has a 2>1 before the cat and the s14 ka's have a primary and secondary cat. If you put a 95 exhaust manifold you need a new downpipe as well.

Just did this last week. Use all the s13 ka manifolds if you haven't done so already.

Try harder with a box end wrench, preferably a 6 point. You can get it on there, its just a pain in the ass.
Do you have a deep socket set? Or wobble sockets? Or extensions? If you don't then get some.
I've never used a crescent for anything but adjustable suspension arms.
