the Kooks 1 7/8" F body headers seem to be the popular swap... for an 01 I believe... I dont see why a 98-02 header wouldnt work. theyre tight on the pass frame rail but I dont think many people have had bad issues.... the ding the primary a touch, and go.

this is definitely an option for 500 bucks though. I'll have to look into them myself.

im running kooks 1 7/8 stepped to 2" with a 3.5" collector. the collector slightly touched the passenger side frame rail, but i massaged it over when installing the true dual exhaust.
