Default Differrent headers with aftermarket heads?
I was thinking of getting AFR heads but my car is a 98. Do I have to change the headers, meaning pre 2002 or post 2002?

No you don't have to change headers. But you would need valve covers and coil brackets if you don't want heads with the perimeter bolt pattern.

What valve covers would be needed with the AFR's? That's the first of heard that you need to change valve covers with heads.

The AFR's are center bolt valve covers, 97 and 98 are perimeter bolt covers and have a different setup to mount the coil packs. Jeff
