Parts for header install So next Friday I am ordering all the parts for my header install and this is what i have planned on getting so far.
BBK lts and y pipe.
New header bolts and gaskets.
New plugs and wires.
O2 extensions.
Anyone that has done header installs can you tell me any other parts I may need to get this done? This is my first header install and only my second mod I am going to do. Ive heard I need to get a band clamp for the Y pipe to fit over my catback and some aluminum tape to stop any leaks so I may need to pick those up as well. Also can anyone give me some recommendations on plugs and wires? Which ones are decently priced? Thanks.

If there long tube you might wanna do motor mounts. If not, I suggest NGKTR55 spark plugs and 8.5 MSD Wires - Cheap if buy as a combo from WS6.com. You don't or should say wont need aluminum tape if you have band clamps. Also, I would get a tune or mail order tune from Frost on here if you wanna ge the most of the headers andto just replac stock tune with performance. He will run you a buck fifty but it's well worth it. Good uck and get that car as high on jacks as you can.
