Default Headers Anything else i need?

Alright so i just put in the order for my kooks headers and y pipe. I ordered it with gaskets and also got the O2 extentions just in case i might go with vette O2's so i dunno yet. i ordered Os simulators for the rear O2's. Is there anything else i sould get? O i ordered the 01-02 headers with AIR fitting and a 3" OFY y-pipe.

sounds like you got everything. if you dont already have one, pick up a good 10mm gear wrench. makes getting the rear coilpack bolts and header bolts out much easier.
P.S. the night before you start the install, spray some WD40 on the stock y-pipe bolts, and let it soak overnight.

with a lift it wont give you much trouble. just a heads up, have a saw-zaw or something similar ready just in case. many people(myself included) end up having to saw or grind of the little tab on the passenger side of the block to get the header in. if you dont want to do this(takes 2 sec with a saw-zaw) just loosen the motor mount and jack the engine up a bit and it should slide right in.
