Dude...the headers are universal between all 98+ F-bodies. Save for the 01-01 not having EGR hook-up


How about a little research?

i was under the impression that automatic convertibles had to have different headers because the transmission got in the way. I got the info from SLP's web site so i did search.

Nope, the engine/trans sits the same regardless. The convertibles have some differences in suspension, but nothing that will affect headers
