i own a 2000 Z71 and i am putting a set of headers on it but, there is one thing im confused about. some brands offer headers with air injection and some without. and some brands say nothing about it. what exactly is air injection on your headers?

As Jeremy suggested: If your present truck has individual air pump tubes tapped into every individual exhaust port you have air injection. I highly doubt it unless it's a California truck.
The air injection is another piece of the air pollution system that helps to re-burn any un-burned raw gas and oxides of combustion before contaminating the catalic converter.
Good luck with your project.

Find out if you truck has an air injection pump. If it does then you'll need the headers that have that option. The others are for vehicles that either don't have it to begin with or for someone who plans on taking the air injection system off. I'm not completely sure what air injection is, but it probably has something to do with cleaning your exhaust gases.

i really understand you wanting to put heaers on your truck (been there and done that), but .............if the truck is something you drive daily, you will be pulling off better equiptment than your putting on. and a whole lot less headache. MOST chics dont understand when you blow a header gasket or collector gasket they just want to duck because of the noise.
----just my opinion----
sorry......... i know its not what you wanted to hear.
