What's the differnce between 97 thru 2000 headers and 2001 thru 2004? I have the exhaust off for a convertor swap and was thinking about picking up a set of used headers. I don't have air injection anymore so I am not worried about that part.
Thanks

on the passinger side the air tube is located differently.

97-2000 on last tube near firewall
2001 and up almost centered
You need to change air tubes under intake if you upgrade to newer style headers.

Oil dipstick tube as well. Early style is bolted to the manifold. Later to the cylinder head.
