Are 2000-2001 & 2002 B-pipes the SAME?

I'm trying to piece together a stock exhaust for my car and I found a 2002 b-pipe for sale...
Just wondering if it's the same as the 2000-2001 because it's a bit of a ride to go pick it up and I want to save the trip if it's not the same.

Anyone know?

Thanks In Advance.

no, fedspec has the o2 bung on the cat, not on the b-pipe.

2000 fed spec's have the o2 sensor right behind the cat and in front of the B-pipe. The sensor is actually in a small S-pipe.

Anyhow 2000-2003 Cali spec B-pipes are all the same, the B-pipe on the 2000 fed spec is a little shorter though (because of the S-pipe).

Nevermind...

...the guy forgot to mention that the b-pipe was CUT off, not bolted off, so it was no use to me anyway...
Drove out to Staten Island for nothing...

Reminds me of when i drove 2hrs each way to Long Island for some "suede leather" seats that turned out to be cloth...

UGH!

If the S-pipe was gone then the B-pipe would be to short.

I beleive so. 00 fed-specers just need to have a o2 bung welded onto a aftermarket B-pipe if thats what your thinking.

ya that's what i'm getting at, so if he finds any 5th gen cali spec exhaust all he has to do is take off his S-pipe and have a O2 bung welded in.
