Default What is the difference between C5 Headers?

It appears that there are some differences between early and later (post 99?) C5 headers, can someone make me smarter on what the differences are? I have seen some pretty good deals on used headers and would like to jump on a set, but want to make sure they will fit with little hassle.

Thanks!

I think the main difference is the location of the air tubes. What model is your car?

Mine's a 99. I think you are right it is a different air tube. I believe that the dipstick is also a little different. I'm guessing it isn't a big work around to use later headers.
