Headers
Fel pro 1406 gaskets
ARP Header Bolts
Thunder Wire Kit
NGK TR6s
New O2s
New Motor Mounts
SJM EGR Block off

What am I forgetting other than Y pipe and O2 extensions?

That is kinda weird both have Red LT1s TAs and both doing headers, wierd there is glitch in the matrix

probably a new oil filter, unless you are smart and take it off before trying to shove the header up into the bay. I wasnt so smart lol

And watch out for the coolant temp sensor as you are putting the driver side header in, i knocked that thing right off.

You dont necessarily need new o2's unless yours are really crap.

Fran, heard that if the car has some miles the motor mounts could be worn out.

Mine's a green camaro.. LTs going in tommorow

I'm not going to do plugs and wires right now. She only has 55k. After the headers the plugs are alot easier to get to anyway. All I'm waiting on are my O2 simms.

Dont put the new 02s in right away. Let them go for about two weeks, then do the new ones. That is if youre doings coated headers...

my headers werent coated but still burned out my 02's from the black paint burning off. just words for thought. But yea leaving the old ones on for a couple of weeks then changing them will save you some $$$ and time of replacing them twice.

My headers are coated inside and out and I still have the original 02s! The headers have been on more than a year and NO DRAMA.

Well I got my headers in today, the stock y pipe is giving me grief, but got the headers in just waiting for my locking bolts to come in. then I will be golden

i was all smart and prepped mine nicely, removed the ECT, oil filter, steering neck, drivers side slid in nice from below. Then passenger side fell right in from the top but OOPS i broke the knock sensor haha.

Removal of stock exhaust/parts needed for access took roughly an hour, installing headers took 2 seconds, then threading the bolt.... **** THAT!!!

I spend hours trying to get those damn bolts to thread. then you think they thread so you put the socket on and BOOM it falls to the ground.

My advice for plug removal once headers are in: do it alone.

took my friend and i 6 hours for all 8 with the car off the ground...
i did it alone the other day in 26 minutes before work all 8 from above, not even exaggerating.
