Questions before i order my LT's I am in college and i have some extra money laying aside for my car, I want to spend as close or below 600$ though. I was looking to buy the Pacesetter headers and off road y pipe combo from Texas speed for $495. What else would i need to get to complete the job or get while i am there?
I have an 00 ws6 trans am M6, What else will i NEED to buy to put these in no problem, Also what can i do about the rear O2 sensors. I read that you do not need them if you get them tuned out, How do you tune them out and plug the hole in the y pipe, also do i need o2 extentions for my front sensors? I have a catback on my car now so i am hoping the y pipe will fit right in no problem.
Can anyone let me know exactly what i need i was searching and it seems sort of confusing about what i have to get along with the Lts and y pipe. It would be nice if someone could clear this up for me i want to purchase them this up coming weekend.

I didn't install Pacesetters, but I needed O2 extensions for the front sensors.
The y-pipe will fit your current catback okay.
The rear O2s you can just remove them and plug the bungs with 18mm x 1.5 oil drain plugs you can get at just about any auto parts store. To tune out the codes for the rear O2s you need a tuner or some software like HP tuners.
Also you'll need 3 band clamps, 2 for the y-pipe inlets and 1 for the catback to y-pipe connection.
