The difference is the one off the '96 fits a '96 and the one off the '99 fits a '99.
FMF's site shows one pipe for the '90-'97 250/300, then a '98-'99 250/300 pipe. No mention of the 360s and 380s.
In 2000, it is my understanding the KTM EXC and MXC motors in the 250 and 300 parted ways. The 2000 250 motor was all new from the cases up, whereas the 300 continued to use the old cases.
A '98-'99 250 stock pipe should fit your bike as well as a '98-'02 300 stock pipe. If you go to an FMF, get the M-20 version not the M-28 per Alan Randt at EE.
