Default exhaust manifold ?

i did a search but i didnt see anything on this, but i have a 99 ls1 and i know that the 00-02 exhaust manifolds flow better than the 99 and down. so would the manifolds from the 00-02 fit on the 99? i am pretty sure they would but i just want to make sure thats all! thanks in advance

They fit if you switch to the 00+ cats and y-pipe. They will not work on the 98-99 setup without cutting and welding.

The newer manifolds also do not have an EGR provision.
It would be more beneficial for you to just go with an aftermarket header. The gains you will see with manifolds will be minimal.

well see thats the thing, i am putting this motor in my 68 firebird! and the only headers that are made for it right now are shorties! and a set of those start at $400. so i was thinkin if i could get a set of manifolds and then get them powdercoated or poilshed, i am sure that they wouldnt cost near as much! but they should bolt right on there right? thanks for the help guys

Psst.. look at his user name he's doing a conversion

The cast 00-02 manifolds should bolt right on any LS1/6 motor currently available.

THe 00 cast manifolds that came off my car do have the provisions for EGR and they are the same design as the 01-02. Think about porting the 00 exhaust before putting them on. Instead of the stock cats run the Random Tech catted Y. Then let me know what kind of power increase you get. I am thinking of doing the same thing.

Been there... between the p&p stockers and the catted RT-y, I gained 8rwhp.

I got a set of 01's if you like, the best part is no EGR on the 01-02's. They were on the car for a total of 4,500 miles so they are in great shape. You can have them for $50 + shipping.
