I tried them on a 97. They didn't provide the location for the dip stick to be reattached.

The Air Tubing location was a little off, but the biggest problem was after the install I couldn't reinstall the two bolts that hold the front of the H-Pipe. The whole H was shifted to the right side causing an exhaust leak.

I reinstalled them to make sure everything was lined up and no luck. I removed them and reinstalled the stock manifolds with no problem.

I now have the B&B's on the way.

I called JBA the first time and got a sales guy. I sent him pics for his review.
He talked to the engineer who basically stated OK and that I should buy the later model dipstick as they attach to the head instead of the Header. :mad

That's when the sales man decided I should the to reinstall them.

In the end TR allowed me to return the Headers to JBA for a refund which I was very happy about.

Maybe it's just my car but the stock ones fit just fine.
