Default Question about OBX Headers

Looking at buying a set of OBX Headers for a good price and need to know if they will fit my car. I have a 2001 coupe and these headers are for a 97-00 vette, not sure what the differences are. Can someone let me know ASAP if they will work on my 2001...

Thanks,
Russell

dont know for sure but they list different versions for the 97-00 vs the 01-04. I think it has to do with the location of the air tube and/or 02 sensors. Someone more in the know will surely answer.

The 97-00 headers
the passenger side air tube is on the 3rd primary from the front
on the 01-04 its on the second
the 97-00 will work fine on the 01-04 but the 01-04 will have to have something done with the air tube issue to fit a 97-00

so yes they will fit

this is why I asked OBX to modify the original headers to offer a 97-00 set to save everyone some headaches
