What kind of 02 extension what do I do with the 02 sensors

BTC

If you plan to keep the car, there are affordable stainless steel alternatives. Personally, I wouldn't even consider mild steel headers.

What would be the benefits for stainless steel

You can actually get the Polished S/S LPP headers for less money than those headers & Y pipe. Just a thought.

Well for one....they don't rust and look like crap in a few years. I've been there and done the painted and ceramic coated headers, they just don't last. My next set is some LPPs with the Y-pipe.

It would help if you told us what year your car is. Go to the USER CP tab on the top of the page and click "edit signature" Add in your car info and it will show up every time you post.

If you have a '93, you need to convert it to heated 02 sensors.
If you have a 94-95, you just need extensions.
If you have a 96-97, you need extensions, and you can either leave the rear 02 sensors or delete them, but you will need a tune for that. You should get a tune anyway after headers if you're deleted EGR and the AIR pump.

Is all of this worth the time and money ?

Its an LT1, if you have to ask about time/money... its prob not.

Well....that's up to you. I'm a gear head through and though like most guys here, so I spend money on parts to make my car go faster which equals more enjoyment for me, plus I love wrenching. If that doesn't suit you, leave your car stock. It's worth it in terms of more power and better sounds from your car, but it's your money, do what you want.

And really, if you have to ask if it's all worth it, you're in the wrong hobby. Building and tinkering on cars is about the worst "investment" there is, but that's not why I do it, it's just a hobby that makes me happy and that's all that matters to me.

I want to do it just moneys the hard part

If ever swap to a ls1 will the headers still fit?

No they will not.

Whatever you end up doing, do it right or pay for it twice.

How much does a whole ls swap end up costing

If you're thinking ls swap you may want to consider the rarity of your Firehawk before doing something like that. There were only 609 made. It's your car and you can do anything you want. If you're looking for more power from the LT1 headers are a prerequisite.
See the production totals for your car in this link.

Very good point I will keep the lt due to rarity and just do the lt hooker stainless steel headers with hooker stainless steel y pipe

if you can swing it, go with stainless for sure. i couldnt at the time and the pacesetters were the best alternative. and FYI my pacesetters came with O2 oxtensions

How do we go from cheap pacesetters being to much money to do, and now, at Kooks being ok..?

Hawk 137

I was going to buy the pace setters armour coat but I am going to wait and save for the kooks stainlesss. Unless someone else knows where to get some nice stainlesss headers for cheaper
