Default LT header install check list, is this everything needed??

-Pacesetter Race headers
-2 24" O2 extensions
-gaskets and blots
-Flowmaster Y-merge (3" in 3.5" out)(going to have a local exhaust shop custom fab a Y-pipe for me)
-new spark plugs
-Poly motor mounts (decided to do this while headers are off)


thats all of what i have right now, anything else you guys would suggest? or am I good to go? I am getting the car tuned pretty soon after the install, so thats why i didn't buy O2 sims.

what gaskets? You can reuse the stock ones or use GM replacements. don't use paper gaskets as they will leak. you can also reuse your stock bolts.

Other than that it looks good. should definatly change things up for you.

Spark plug wires, and aniti seize, I use anti seize on the spark plugs and on my header studs going in to the head.

ahh yes, plug wires, even though the car only has a little over 20k, might as well do those i guess.

also, i bought the car with flowmasters on it, should I go ahead and change the rest of the exhaust (after Y-Pipe) to something like a Dynomax Bullet or Magnaflow exhaust?
