Default What else will i need?

I ordered pacesetter coated headers (ya i know they arent the best, but why spend $1200 on good headers when the car is getting turbo'd later?) and 2 bullet mufflers today. the headers are supposed to come with the whole install kit. got em from new era perf b/c they had the best prices. when i'm doing this what else will i need? 02 extensions for front? the rears are getting deleted b/c i'm goin w/a x-pipe. should i change plugs or wires? different header bolts? anything else i will need or want to change now while its still easily accessible?

thanks in advance,
chris

I did spend $1200 on my headers (FLP). And love them.
But to answer part of your question, while you are there, go ahead and change the plugs and wires. No reason going back, if you are already there.

you need 2 24" o2 extentions for the front. Its a good idea to change the plugs to some ngk tr55's the wires dont matter that much, stock ones are fine. You can get some stage 8 bolts so the bolts will never back out, but the stock ones can be reused as well. 10mm gear wrench is also a must, along with a friend to help you out.

Nah man the pacesetters are one hell of a header. They just slide in with out any problems, really nice header for the price. You made the right choice
