Default Header fitment question.

Anybody know if a set of shorty headers off of a 2000 vette will fit a 1997?

They will bolt up to the motor and fit fine but they will not bolt to the exhaust center section.

It's my understanding that the 2000 is year specific... check b&b exhaust website to verify that......

the year changes are 97-00 and 01-04, never installed shorties, but the LT's can be swapped from late to early by changing the AIR tube on the pass side and the oil tube/dipstick

none of the header manufactures i've seen have accomodated the D-port heads introduced in 01, they all use the round port; understandedly so, due to the manufacturing process

i can tell you any year will work by swapping the AIR/dipstick tubes for LT's, does the cat pipe work from late to early on shorties, never tried?
