Default Need help installing hooker headers!!!

I bought some used hooker longtubes and was wondering where can I get the gaskets, o2 extensions and bolts. I was also wondering on how I was going to fit the EGR fitting on the driver side because it is to short to fit on the hooker headers.

The EGR mounts on the passenger's side - not the driver's side. Are you referring to the AIR tubes? What year vehicle are you installing the headers on?

Hooker headers were designed for the 98-99 cars. For a clean installation on a '00 and later cars you will need to pick up a pair of 98-99 AIR tubes. I've heard rumors about being able to bend the later tubes to fit, but I can't imagine it would look very good.

Yes you can bend them, but you are right it doesn't look very good when your done. My suggestion would be to take all the emissions stuff off.
