Default Corvette BBK Shorty headers HELP!!

I purchased a used set of BBK shorty headers that were supposed to be from a 99 vette. I looked around and it certainly looks like they should work with a 97-99 vette. They are about 2-3 inches too short and at the wrong angle...there is no way they are going to fit. Has anybody had this problem or does it look like they aren't really from a 99....or atleast didn't work with the stock h-pipe.

If they really are for a vette then they should fit from 97-04. Are they supposed to fit the stock mounting flange?

It looks like BBK makes 3 diff sets, 97-99, 2000, 2001-2004.


Everything looks good except they are 2 inches to short and come in at the wrong angle. I suspect they might be the 2000 model as the EGR crap is in the right place. My brother has an 04 and his egr stuff is in a diff location.

I thought vettes didnt have EGR, could the headers be for a f-body?

I'm referring to the air horns...whatever they are called.
