Default What headers are these?

Think they are pacesetters but not quite sure... has all emission bungs on the front tubes and one other thing that can be blocked off on the passenger header. Also can someone verify that these can be used on an 01 SS

I noticed on my factory manifolds that the driver side emission thing is on the second tube not the first, is that a problem? Will I need oxygen sensor extenders for where they plug into the collector? Does my car have 2 or 4 oxygen sensors?

Yes, you will need O2 extensions, and our cars have a total of 4 Oxygen Sensors. 2 fronts (the ones you put in the headers), 2 rears (these go after the cats). Emissions fittings shouldnt be a problem. Im not sure what headers they are, are they stainless? If stainless, there not Pacesetters and i dont think pacesetters have the o2 bungs on the outside like that one header in the pic does. Maybe Ebay headers??

I just figured out they are Jet Hot headers, now my only question is what differences there would be between the 98-02 year models with the emission systems. Im trying to figure out if these are the right ones for the 01 year model

I agree that they aren't pacesetters. The headers that have the o2 bung on the opposite side that i know of are hookers and jet hots.

Also, those headers have a flange for EGR, which your 01 car will not have. So you are going to have to block it off. This may cause that fitting to eventually crack at the weld and possibly blow off leaving you with a hole in your primary. But they will work fine.

Couldn't he just have that fitting cut off and patched now?

Yes I could do that pretty easily. Ok so im thinking the only difference between the two part numbers for 98-99 and 01-02 camaros is that on the driver side of an 01 the emission thing is on the second tube, and on 98's its on the front. Can someone with a 98-99 camaro verify this for me??

The main difference is the EGR tube that is unnecessary. I don't believe it is the air fitting.

block off the one fitting for EGR on the pass header and everything else will bolt right up. The AIR tubes are somewhat flexible so they will bolt to whichever tubes the fitting is welded to.

Those are Ebay specials.

Notice how the driver side header the collector is angled upwards slightly? Dead give away, lol.

Id rather it be angled up then down... I dont feel that they are junk, the welds are very well done and seems to be a good quality metal. Either way they will flow better than a stock manifold so im happy for $250.

Jet hot is not the brand, just the company that coated them. They said they are either hedmans or hookers, those are the only two brand headers they coat for f-bodys

I didnt say they were junk. They are stainless steel though, which is good.

They dont look bad at all, aside from the monsterous bolt holes.

I wouldnt want my collector angled either way, down the y-pipe hits the ground and up it hits the floor.

Not a bad price, but now you have to find a y-pipe that will mate up to them. redfbird99 on here found a generic stainless y-pipe on ebay that bolted up. Hit him up if your want to find out exactly where he bought it...it was off road too if that matters.
