Default Is this possible and/or overkill??

will be purchasing exhaust soon for 01' SS.. don't want true duals so please don't suggest them.. will be purchasing the following:

-98-02 LS1 1-3/4" American Racing Headers w/o AIR & EGR Fittings
-98-02 LS1 American Racing Headers Off-Road Ypipe
-98-02 LS1 Magnaflow Cat Back System
-2 24" Square 4-Pin Oxygen Sensor Extensions
-Flowtech "Race Readies" Cutouts (Twin-Pack)

Was wondering if I were to purchase the Flowtech "Race Readies" Cutouts (Twin-Pack), if I would be able to install them on the headers directly and connect to the y-pipe and if this would be overkill or not. If it would be good to put these on, will I have to cut the y-pipe to make it all fit etc? Also wondering about those (2) o2 extensions posted above^^ if they are good to go or not?

Gonna have my rear o2s deleted by tuner.

Thanks for any helpful info in advance.

top to bottom clearance or side to side clearance? I know the ARH tuck up really well, so maybe it'll hit the top and sides? What do you suggest? 1 cutout in the I portion of the Y-pipe?

haha, personally, thats all I would go for... im sure some ppl will disagree with me but honestly if your not goin crazy cubes or blower one cutout won't rob you of anything. I suggest the classic one cutout under the rear pass seat.
