If the radiator is only in the way of installation, try removing it when you install the header.

What mounts are you running? I use Hasport mounts and I bought a DC Sports 4-2-1 Header and it's fits like a glove. With room to spare.

you have to get a header designed for a gsr motor because the block is taller, b16 header will not fit.

a b16 will fit-however it is very close to the oil pan and u have to cut off the bracket (where a bolt goes) thats on the b16 header to make it fit
