They will bolt right up to your block, but there might be differences on which y-pipe you can use. If I were you, I would forget about the BBK headers and get some long tubes.

Don't get BBK's!
The owner before me put them on my 97 T/A and I don't like them...
Waste of money in my opinion. Unless if you want to spend $400+ for something that just looks a wee bit better?

Ss.slp hit it on the head. The difference is in the Y-pipe. The 95-97 kit is for a dual cat setup and the 94-95 kit is for a single cat in the I-pipe. Personally I'd save my money for a set of long tubes (you don't have to save much for Pacesetter) . Overall you'll be much more satisfied with your spent money. BBK makes great product, but not good enough to justify spending money on shorties.

I don't like shorties and I hate Flowmaster.. I swapped out a new Flowmaster on my 97 T/A for a SLP LMII because the Flowmaster was so restrictive. I'd tell you just to save up for some coated Pacesetters and a Magnaflow catback. You'll be glad you did

Yes, flip it and make a little cash, maybe 50 bucks. Otherwise, walk away.
