Default Question for kooks header guys

Im getting ready to purchase kooks long tubes and their catted y-pipe. I was wondering what else i would need to install these headers. Such as o2 extentions, does the y come with bungs for the rear o2s or do i haft to purchase o2 sims. Any info would be a big help. Just wanted to ask some people that actually have put them on their cars. Oh mine is 99 formula m6.
Thanks

You might also want to consider some locking header bolts and new stock replacement gaskets too. I would not worry about O2 sims if you are going with the cats. If I remember correctly you only need extensions for the front O2 sensors the rears should reach. Also the y-pipe comes with rear O2 bungs. BTW what color is your Formula, mine is a black on charcoal gray t-top m6 car. The nice thing about the Formula is you don't see many around especially with a 6-speed, WS6 cars are an added plus.

You will need 24" extensions.

Everything else has already been mentioned.

To the Kooks owners. Will a magnet stick to the header? High quality stainless is non mangnetic.

Thanks

I have a set of used O2 sims.
