Default What all do I need for header install?

Hey guys.

I should be getting my Pacesetter LT's and TSP y-pipe combo in the mail tomorow. Coming with them is a SLP LM2 CB.

http://texas-speed.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=181&catid=8

That is what I ordered.

I also got the 02 extensions. Now, it says it comes with gaskets and bolts. So will I need anything additional for the install?

I also plan on getting new plugs and wires. Can I just pick these up from a local parts store? What do you suggest?

Thanks alot.

it sounds like u got everything. when i put my headers in i put msd wires and ac delco plugs in but that was just me. U can get wires and plugs at the parts store if u want i woudn't. Also if u do an ory pipe u will need a tune to get rid of the codes and to not run rich

It is a catted Y. But I will need a tune because it doesnt have the rear o2 provisions.

Why wouldnt you get the plugs and wires from the parts store?

Dont use the gaskets it comes with...they are paper. If possible reuse your factory gaskets and if not just pick up some from the dealer. I think they are like $15 dollars....Plugs from the parts store are good. You can get NGK plugs from Advanced and they are fine.

If you're going to do plugs and wires now is the time. It will be so much easier with the stock exhaust manifolds off.
