Default BBK shortie headers

Forum sponsor Zip Products show above, but state it will only work on the 2000 model.Why? Seems like they would fit 97-00. I couldn't find an e-mail address for them or I would ask them directly....

Don't even waste your time, save up a bit more cash and spring for the long tubes.

Texas is as bad as Ca. when it comes to emissions...Big discussion on Ls1.com, including a very promising dyno and track results using these headers....

NJ isn't so hot either. I don't know about Texas, but is their no way you could slide through with the help of a buddy or something?

The shortie headers do nothing. I put them on and replaced them with long tube headers and high flow cats. That was worth doing.

if so, those results will fly in the face of all the non-results that've been discussed and talked about here at length :cheers:

What are you talking about.I just got my '00 coupe with a 112 lsa cam and LGM LT's inspected and passed with flying colors.In fact my emissions read the same as a stock motor!!So whoever is telling you,you won't pass emissions testing is completely WRONG.Also,I live in Houston,so they're not going to let us just slide by.
