Default What do I need with headers?

If I buy a used set of Kooks headers and ORY what else am I then going to need to buy? I know I need a pair of O2 extensions, and then that I should probably get new header gaskets and I'll need header bolts so would probably get the stage 8 ones. Is that all I will need?

Also, AIR and EGR gaskets or blockoff plates. Use stock steel GM header gaskets. Stage 8 bolts is a nice upgrade but not necessary.

The used headers wouldn't come with new bolts like buying new ones would so I figured I'd pay for those anyway. How hard is it to reuse the stock bolts?

You don't need stage 8 locking bolts, you can re-use your stock header bolts. Be sure to put some anti-seize on them. You'll need some good band clamps, a set of rhino ramps, jack stands, and a few extensions. A rubber mallet will also come in handy to mate the ends together. Do you already have O2 simms for the rears?
