hey guys, i noticed that my header was cracked, its the cast manifold for the 2.5l 98' so i decided to grab a better one from the junkers, found a few that had the older style tubular manifold that i believe is OEM SS so i grabbed it and its soaking in some evapo-rust right now and is looking better by the hour.. heres my issue, when i went to take the old manifold off, the bottom of the egr tube crumbled "not a big surprise" i went to the wreckers and found a few that were amazing looking except rotten an inch from the manifold so no good. i also noticed that the tube i have currently has 2 vacuum fittings on it, and the ones at the wreckers didn't. I have decided to go brand new for the tube, and its 80$ from the dealer. now what should i order one that is specific to my make / model and it should bolt to the older style exhaust manifold or do i have to get a completely different tube? im assuming that i just get a replacement for my year and it will bolt into the tubular exhaust manifold. i just wanna make sure before i order an 80$ part that i prolly wont be able to return..
sorry for the rambling and typo's just got of work and im in a rush

BUMP! i gotta get this bad boy going for may 24 weekend... any help would be appreciated 
i was going to do a mock up tonight with the new header and old egr valve and tube, but didn't get a chance to work on it tonight.
