Default Q's: About Headers

I have a 98 vert. Getting ready 2 buy some TPIS Header off a 2004 vette. I know the headers will bolt up, but I remember hearing someone talking about you have to relocate the smog hose or something another. What do you have to relocate and how much does this relocating or conversion cost to make these headers work on my 98. HOPEFULLY SOMETHING SIMPLE. JOHN

I think they moved the AIR tube hookup. Relatively easy to fix with a welder.

Goto LS1howto.com where they install the LG headers. He shows how to modify the air tube. A newer dipstick tube with o-ring is less than $10 last time I checked. The o-ring alone is over $4.
