I'm a girl. Tell me what parts I need!
I have zero car knowledge. My boyfriend and his friends are going to replace my headers and engine mounts for me, and apparently I'm supposed to buy "all of them" just in case. How many is "all of them"? Is that 4 headers? 3?
Do I need to buy any additional accessories (bolts, screws, whatever), or just the headers and engine mounts?
Also, how do I know which ones to buy? I have a 1998 Honda Civic DX, and want the cheapest possible parts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have to order these soonish.

Megan Racing is an ebay company that makes a good enough header for your D series engine if you want an aftermarket one. As far as mounts go, there are three of them I believe. One on the driver's side, one on the rear, and one on the passenger side. You should probably just hit up the dealership or ebay and look for OEM mounts.

Well what you should probably do is invest your time and money in some nice cooking implements, some cookbooks and maybe a dishwasher but i'm sure you can do it by hand.
Also i suggest purchasing the book kama sutra so you can really please your man in the bedroom.
that is all thank you for your time.

What kind of a boyfriend would tell a girl who knows nothing about auto parts to go buy them, herself? He should do the research and let you know how much everything will be.
Do you ask him to buy all the ingredients to make lasagna? I'm not trying to get you upset; I'm just wondering.....

Okay... why are we being mean?
Getting a header on a 96-00 DX and not doing the full EX exhaust conversion will result in a check engine light due to the loss of the catalytic converter. To correct this you need to convert to the EX exhaust system to retain the catalytic converter when adding a header.
Here is a thread on the subject

But while you don't know much about what you're doing with this... it sounds like your boyfriend doesn't either. He needs to do his research... if he had, he would know this.
