Second Gen Headers on a Third Gen???
Will headers for a second gen Camaro fit a third gen? I have the opportunity to get a smokin deal on a set of ceramic Flowtech headers, only problem is, they are for a second gen. 31108FLT are the headers. Will they match up to a stock y-pipe on a third gen? They are brand new shorty headers for $150. Good deal if they will work, not so good if they won't? I would appreiciate any thoughts.

they are not going to line up to the stock y-pipe if they are not designed for a 3rd gen. Also I'm also gonna say 99% chance they are not going to work at all, 3rd gen's have very specific headers, so 99% of headers designed for other cars don't work for 3rd gen's.

Remember this, headers are made to fit the chassis, the flange is the only thing that makes them SBC.
So, no, they will not fit.

You can get a new sat of crappy flowtechs that are made for a 3rd gen for $150.
Looking at those, passenders side, might fit with some beating, no way will the drivers.
Get some Hedmans, Hookers, or Dyno Dons!
