Question Questions about headers?

Pretty soon im gonna be buying LPP headers and the TSP catted y pipe and i have a few questions...Will i need o2 extensions? Are poly motor mounts necessary to do when i do this? Do i need to have my car tuned right after doing them or can it wait a while? Anything else I should know before getting headers for my car? Thanks

Extensions yes or Bosch 13111 o2 sensors. You don't need to do motor mounts if you don't want. Nor a tune right away. Reuse gaskets or get new ones. For the y pipe get band clamps with the lip and use exhaust sealer. Unless youre getting it welded then nevermind. And. Remove the "heat shield" from under the pass and a small piece on the driver side firewall. I ziptied the excess of the o2 to it. And don't forget about the steering knuckle. Lol. Nut buster is your friend. Deep sockets and a 12 inch breaker bar helped me a lot

Well if you ever want/need to do MM the only way it will be easier is if the motor comes out. My Y banged under WOT until MM were replaced BTW. Also not sure if a TSP Y will go in without mod... Yes on the extensions and expect to see an SES light until tuned...

Im gonna live without motor mounts and tune for a few, SES light doesnt bother me, im getting 24" extensions and according to this thread i found the lpp headers and tsp catted y seem to work perfect together...
