Don't quote me, but I think the LS exhaust is the same as the GSR. The cats maybe different and the header is, but I think thats it. The piping shares the same routing under the car.
I wouldnt go with anything bigger than 2.5in. unless your doing a serious all motor build. I have Tanebe Racing medallion, and I like it but the Apexi WS is also a kick ass unit, quiet but loud when you want it to be.
And as for LS/VTEC, you can do it if you want, but why chance it. I'd rather have a reliable 170hp than an unreliable 170hp, and a swap is far simpler to do than an LS/VTEC.
They are expensive, that is the one downside to Honda motors, its totally gay, hence why I bought the GSR to begin with, but you will be happy with a B18c swap. The engine has potential, and the y80/s80 tranny is the epitome of what a gearbox should be if you ask me. You'll love it.
God, I want mine back, fuck you mother nature and rust for causing set-backs! Who knew doing something as simple as suspension would be so damn frustrating.
