Get some stainless strap clamps

New exhaust gaskets (Factory GM/Victor Reinz is my preference)

Header bolts if needed (clarification:to clamp the header flange to the head) Use either factory bolts or stainless ARP studs (I recommend this although they are $90+)

You might also want some o2 extensions if you're not going to want to extend the wiring yourself.

You might need to rent/borrow/buy a pipe expander to get the y-pipe outlet intot he catback I-pipe

That's all I can think of right now.
