I am about to order Hooker LTs...what else do I need to make this install a snap? Here's my partial list:

obviously...the headers!
stage 8 locking bolts
MSD wires


do I need new tranny/motor mounts? the car has 45K miles and its an A4

what is the official part # for TR55 plugs?

reuse stock header gaskets or get fancy ones?

I am building a custom TD setup, so I will mess with the rest of that at a later date.

You will need some O2 sims (unless yours are tuned out) for the rear O2's and either a pair of Bosch 13111 O2's or a set of O2 extensions for the front O2's.

I've got a Predator, which I am told will tune out the rear 02s....where do I get the extensions for the fronts?

I believe several sponsors sell them -------> Texas Speed, Thunder Racing, Speed Inc, WS6 store, etc.

I bought new gaskets from GM cause they aint expensive and i didn't want to risk a leak from reuseing my gaskets.

Is it just me or do not all exhaust setups have rear o2s

I'm also gonna use my stock bolts for my install.

If it's stock it does. If not stock, someone might have already tuned them out.

Link in sig that covers a few things. IMO you don't need the Stg8s, just clean/reuse the stock bolts or get some ARPs. Stock header gaskets are fine (get new ones if your's look like they've been through hell). Good luck.

I used:
Percy's aluminum gaskets
LS2 manifold bolts with anitseize
MSD wires / AC Delco iridium plugs

I also had to get some new 02 sensors because they either stripped or wouldn't come out. You might also need a small hack saw (or Sawzall) to remove the casting tab on the driver's side of the block.

I sent my computer to Wait4me for the tune.
