Acura CL Exh Manifold on 6th Gen?

Curious if anyone has looked at this or tried it. The CL exhaust manifold and pipe combo looks about like a good 4-2-1 header, though cost for new is a lot more expensive. Boneyard might be reasonable. I'm guessing that other mods would be required like different brackets or there may be length fit-up issues.

It's the same engine...can't imagine that it'd be that far off.

I don't know much about Acuras but it appears the CL with I4 was only in production a few years, so a used manifold might be tough to find.

Update:

I did some more surfing and found replacement (non-oem) cast iron manifold and head pipe for about $200 new. This might be worth it if I don't run into O2 sensor problems or dimension issues, etc.

Call me crazy but while a tubing header may be pretty, I can't believe it will be as trouble free as a cast iron manifold, and the pics of the CL setup look like a factory header to me.
