If I'm not mistaken, just get the EGR block-off plate for headers...correct me if I'm wrong, guys. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> WJ.

I run a 99 design header on my car, the tubes can be bent to work, or you can pickup a set of 98-99 tubes at the dealer.

Or just take the whole EGR off. I have a 2000 z28 and i have the 2001-2002 headers on my car. I took off the AIR tubes, EGR and also the Air compressor thingy. The only thing is that the headers rub a little bit on my steering column. No Biggie

I have a 2001 and my brother has a 99. We both recieved the same set of macs at the same time.I installed both and had to bend the tubes on both installs and I built a block off plate for the missing tube on the 2001.I just took the tubes off and put them in a vice, bent them carefully and tried them till the fit.I think it took me longer to find what I wanted to use for the block off plate.Not really a big deal though.Go for the good deal <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
