Default slp long tube headers

Hey guys need a little help, im thinking of buying these slp long tube headers, but my car is a 99, and the headers are coming off a 00 car, does that mean that they are not compatible with my car. I went to slp's website and they have different applications for 98-99, 00, 01-02. Or is there a kit that i can use, im getting a real good deal.

I installed SLP LTs on my 2000 'bird. I did a short summary of the install, and it's on my website. Click on my sig to find it...or go here:

There are pics there of the headers before I installed them. You might be able to tell from the photos if they're going to work for you or not. The only difference I could see might be with the AIR & EGR system attachment points.

That is correct, I have 99 year SLP long tubes on my 00 T/A, had to ditch the EGR because the fittings are in different places on the 99 models.

If you were ordering them new from SLP, they break them down as '98 & '99, 2000, and '01 & '02.

http://www.slponline.com/view_product.asp?P=30053 ('01-'02)

You'll encounter problems if your car is lowered, but at the stock height mine are just fine.
