Question Adding headers, required changes?

I'll be adding Pacesetter LT headers to my 2001 ss Camaro soon. I will be using an off road y pipe (no cats). But I see the headers come with EGR and AIR provisions. SO... besides the headers, y-pipe and gaskets what else will I need?

Do I need O2 simms, extensions?
What about tuning? whats the minimum required to avoid throwing SES lights?
Whats recommended to get the most out of the upgrade?

-thanks

you'll need extensions and tune out the rear O2's and some block off plates for the EGR for the header since your car is 01

Does it matter if I have the rear O2s tuned out versus using O2 simms?

I just added headers and ORY to my 02' SS last Saturday. My headers also have the EGR/AIR. I didn't bother cutting them off because it ain't a show car, but some people like the extra room for plug changes. While you're there you might as well do that too, if you haven't recently..a little easier while the headers are off. My front O2's did reach the bungs on my headers and ORY, but I don't have LT's. I just screwed my rear O2's into place but left them unhooked at the harness, just to plug the hole. I had the rears deleted this week with a tune from Frost and some other good stuff!! Good luck man
