You should not set codes since your 02 did't come with the AIR tubes.Check Ebay saw a whole set of block off plates and gaskets for about $10.
Good Luck

yes they will work, however as stated you'll need an egr block off plate for the egr provision and either get block off plates for the AIR system or purchase 98-99 air tubes.

there not bad as stated, but LT's make a litle more torque. I still use MACS mids for the ground clearance on a lowered car. There is one trick that alot of MAC users do. Have the the ball collector cut off the headers and go with a 3" collector and have a 3" y-pipe fabricated.
