- Tue May 26, 2009 3:31 pm #118798 not all D Series headers are the same, a Y8 Header Will not fit Z6 engine and vise versa, now a ceramic header dissipates heat a little better but is prone to cracking (I've seen quite a few of these) and the Stainless Steel is well aside from providing a Bling factor, if it's the right size any who it will help, but those are the main differences.

The difference between the different D series headers is OBD2 D series have an extra o2 bung. Also OBD1 d-series have to allow the dipstick in the front between #2 and #3 runners. Most aftermarket D series headers are designed for this though.
All d-series 92-00 headers will bolt up to the block of any of those years.

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

Thanks for the clarification teal, the reason I posted that was out of personal experience, I have a set of Y8 headers and they would not fit on my Z6 for my life!!
