Headers Shopping list?
I think Im gonna go with some Pacesetter LT's and ORY from Texas Speed.
What all do I need to order? Im thinking:
PaceSetter Ceramic-Coated Long Tube Headers, With Emissions Fittings, 2000-2002 LS1 F-Body - $385
O2 Simulators, Pair; FOR OFF-ROAD USE ONLY - $90
PaceSetter 3" Off-Road Y-Pipe for 1998-2002 LS1 F-Body, For Use with PaceSetter Long Tube Headers - $130
Is this all I need? Do the headers comes with all the neccessary gaskets and hardware? Do I need the O2 extensions?

U can make ur own 02 extensions with the stuff they provide, and re use ur stock header gaskets or get new ones from the dealership cause the ones they provide are shittty. other than that it looks like thats all u need. I got my gaskets for 13 bucks at the dealership.

The gaskets that come with them are junk as well as the o2 extenders & bolts imo. I'd either reuse the stock gaskets, which alot of people here seem to do, or buy new GM gaskets which is what I did.
My pacesetter's are sitting in the box in the garage still but I seem to remember being short on clamps for the Y pipe for some reason or they sent some of those standard "U" style clamps which I don't care for. The band style seem to seal better imo. Guess I will have to check again.

Yea the header gaskets suck but the air fitting and the egr gaskets will work just fine as long as u dont over tighten. I used the header bolts they sent and i havent had a problem.
