They will bolt up to your engine but will not bolt up to the H/X-pipe. They are year specific for a reason.

I'm pretty sure they'll bolt up, what is year specific is the mid pipe between the fox body and the sn. You can swap the headers between years but not mid pipes

Who says ? My little brothers car has fox headers installed by me with a sn95 h pipe and sn95 cat back. Hmm maybe Cus I'm a certified tech that must have something to do with why it fit perfectly ?

That may be but there are still differences between them. When I was looking to get long tubes i had at least three people tell me fox body long tubes fit our cars no problem and i can tell you for sure at least some of them don't fit our cars at all. Personally I prefer sticking to parts made for my year.

Whats the reason you want to put fox headers on your 95? I'm with onyx I prefer to stick with the parts that were made for our cars. Exception being the fox TB conversion b/c it actually works quite well.

because they where on a motor i bought from a friend out of his 91gt. if i already have them in my posession i didnt see the point in buying $300 headers. ive got some big plans for that 91gt engine in a about years time and those BBK headers need a home for the time being. i am going to try them and if all bolts up like im thinking then i will delete the egr.

(off topic) whats the fox tb conversion. i have a gt40 intake waiting to go on the car too. also a set of gt40 heads that need to be sent to the cleaners for some work.
