Default Lt headers

i'm thinking about purchasing a pair of hooker longtubes and having a custom orypipe made. Will this kit: http://www.ragingmotorsports.com/product.asp?3=64 include everything i need and/or will i need to have anything else to install the headers?

Pick up a new set of exhaust manifold gaskets at the dealer parts counter. You can reuse the stock manifold bolts. Might as well change the plugs while you're at it since they have to come out anyway. Saw the square aluminum block off on the driver's side first with a sawsall or a die grinder with 3 inch cut-off wheel.

all i need to buy after the headers would be the exhaust manifold gaskets, o2 extensions, o2 sensors.

The headers come with "PAPER" gaskets so you can use them if you choose, I did but I wish now I hadn't. I am pretty sure that my Hooker's came with the extensions so I would call them or at least e-mail them to confirm. You will not need to buy 02 sensors. You have 4 on the car now and you are going to reuse the front 2 so by the end of this you will have 2 rear 02 sensors left over. I did not grind the block, I removed the steering arm and they fit up their easily not to hard just time consuming.
