if you're looking for just the radiator hose you're getting ripped off.

you can get a gates oem spec radiator hose for ~$20 shipped.

if you need a radiator, the ep3 and dc5 radiators are completely different. coolant reservoir and rap cap locations are different between the 2 chassis. if you want a used oem radiator i have one available. it's already boxed up and ready to go. let me know

i was mistaken. its not ~$20 shipped. its even cheaper.

lower ep3 radiator hose: gates p/n - 23245
upper ep3 radiator hose: gates p/n - 23246

this ebay vendor is located in the bronx, ny:

i don't know if that's far from you but he's got it for $11 shipped. they have a pretty decent inventory. you can call them up and speak to them directly, they're pretty friendly.

also, if they don't have the 23246 available. you can go with the 21229 radiator hose. this is the one i'm using currently. i know people with k20a2 and k24's use this rad hose to allow more clearance for certain intake setups.

napa rad hose 7940 in my sig, moves out of the way for intake to keep from heatsoak. $25 from the store.
