Default 98 headers on a 01?

I tried searching but didn't find anything..or maybe I suck at searching..

Anyways, my friend took the Pacesetter headers off of his 98 Z28 and I was going to buy them but he said they wouldn't fit my 01 Z28? He didn't really specify what was different so I don't know..maybe he was wrong?

Will they fit or not?

The only difference is the location for the AIR & EGR fittings. You don't have EGR on your 01, so that's not an issue (just block off the fitting on the header). If you aren't hooking AIR back up, block the fittings and they'll fit just fine with no modification. If you're keeping the AIR system, you'll have to either get the 98 AIR tubes or modify yours to fit (just a little bending/cutting).

Nope...removing AIR system with the quickness!

Thanks

They will fit fine then, we just took a set off a 98 z-28 and put them
on a 01 trans am and blocked off the air holes and they work great...
