Just installed mine Yesterday and I LOVE THEM! You can definentely feel the difference. And they sound awesome too.
I went with the PS LT's and ORY into a Moroso Spiral Flo dumped before the axle.... LOUD But Sounds Great!

Best mod i ever did with my LT1 vice the stall converter being among the best.

Really opens the car up and performs better.

You will need the Headers, Bolts, ORY, Gaskets or a tube of Permatex Copper Sealant, O2 Extensions, and of course a hack saw to cut the catback to hook up the y-pipe to the catback. Thats about it other than just the tools and a Helper or as I call them a "TOOL BITCH"

you'll also need o2 extensions if you want to do it right 2 24" ones.
if race style, you will need to buy/fab up block off plates for the rear of the intake manifold.
if obd2 you will need a tune to delete the 2 rear post cat o2 sensors, or o2 simulators to fake out the pcm.

for the install you will need access to a jack and jackstands.get the front tires at least 16" off the ground and it helped me to have the back all the way up on the jackstands as well. LOTS of room, driver side slipped right in from the bottom. passenger side slipped right in from the top with engine jacked up about 1". after i looked at it i determined i probably didn't even need to jack the engine if i had gone through the bottom. I suggest removing the starter, I didn't have to remove the oil filter. you'll need to remove the dipstick tube. remove the coolant temp sensor on driver side ( I didn't and actually got the driver side header on w/o breaking it off, and while i was trying to start the first header bolt the header slipped out of my hand and broke it off like butter.. ughh) I would highly consider new engine mounts while your down there. I also recommend heat taping the abs lines and any surrounding wires, I'm actually a little worried b/c my P abs line is like 1/4" from the header with nowhere to remount.. ehh

I did this install alone and was my first time, no worries man!

It can't be harder than installing TOG headers on a GTP. That was over 6 hours of hell... but WELL worth it.
