I couldn't tell you for sure since it's not something I've done myself, but back when the 00+ manifold swaps first started being done, I know that there were several posts by people who did it that said you needed to swap the Y-pipe also.
You might check with Robert (FirebirdGT) and see if he knows.
But I think it was something along the lines of the pre-'00 Y-pipes won't line up correctly.-James<br /><br />\'96 3.8L A4 Camaro (SOLD)Comment

Why bother switching stock manifolds for stock manifolds? Seems pointless to me. All the 3.8L's are rated to the same hp... and I doubt putting manifolds from a newer car on would do a damned thing. If you want headers, get real aftermarket ones.Kyle M<br />--------------<br /><a href=\"http://grdws6.netfirms.com\" target=\"_blank\">2002 Trans Am WS6</a> (silver, A4) - lid, cutout, stage 3 shift kit, 12 bolt, vig 3200, tranny cooler, bmr sfc/stb, torq thrust ii. <b>12.688 @ 106.47mph -=- 1.756 60\'</b>Comment

Yup, and that's really about the only improvement you'll get from headers either. (Running NA that is.)-James<br /><br />\'96 3.8L A4 Camaro (SOLD)Comment
