The centre pipe on the 01 is approx 3" shorter than the classic centre and the front bracket on the back box is also in a different position .

As well as the front bracket being in a different position, the '01 back box is longer and will hit the rear antiroll bar on full bump, unless you fit a spacer, approx 10 mm, but cars differ so check clearance. Don't space it too far back though because then it will hit the rear part of the heatshield. As a matter of interest, the internals of the '01 box are different to the '98 but we have tested them both for backpressure, and they come out virtually the same.
