Air tubes are the biggest concern. Those seeking shorties would find differences in the air tubes and mid pipe connections. Long tubes are just different at the air tubes. Be sure you do not have to pass emissions before deleting your air injection system

I installed my XSPower headers about a year ago. I also have a 99 and you will have to modify it to bolt up a different way or replace with an 01 - 04 model dipstick. I cut the flat bracket, bent it a little, drilled the hole to bolt to the air tube bolt on the header. 8K miles later still no issues. Hope that answers your question.
