Am I missing anything? Thanks guys

Don't forget some exhaust clamps, don't want any pesky leaks.
If you have GM exhaust gaskets just reuse them, they are multilayer steel.
You probably want to torque the header bolts into the heads, don't want any stripped threads.
Have fun, I just got my headers done last night

Thanks guys, yea I have 4 or 5 friends helping me, so hopefully the install will go smoothly. We have all the tools we need, I just wanted to make sure I had all the parts im going to need. Thanks guy. All the clamps should be coming with the headers and y-pipe. Also the headers are ceramic coated, but are starting to show a little bit of surface rust, what do you think about using some high temp paint on them?
