Default Advice needed.

Hi everyone,
Need some advice on what brand of radiator and header to use for my 98 EX. Some ******* tried to jack me last night and we exchanged some not so friendly fire. To make a long story short I have a bullet hole thru my radiator, thru the header heat shield, and a nice crack in my header. Can anyone recomend a good radiator for me? I am planning on putting a evo II exhaust on soon so if anyone can recomend a good header as well I would greatly appreciate it. Not sure if I should go 4-2-1 or 4-1. One piece or two? ceramic? What brand? Had to replace my front and rear windshields today so price is kind of an option at the moment. Thanks in advance for the help and be safe out there.

Greddy makes a GREAT 4 2 1 header I used to use. It is a little pricey though. I also like DC sports.


As for the radiator if you want to upgrade, basically any aluminium will work great. The thicker the better.

Thanks for the information, I really appreciate it.
What year was the Del Sol radiator?
I unloaded three clips into his car as he ran, but nothing on the news about it so I guess the ****er got lucky.
I do know his car had more damage than mine did thou. He lost all but one window and his trunked popped open
when he drove away. How you gonna try to jack somebody with a stock civic? Ayone else have suggestions.

Moving won't help, there is crime everywhere these days.
At least here I know my way around.

Don't need em! Missouri has concealed weapon rights.
Got my permit and gun is registered. I can shoot at them when they try to jack me.
