Default what else do I need??

I'm ordering my QTP headers today and I wanted to find out what all you thought I need

I'm getting header gaskets but what else would I need? O2 sims, O2 ext, new header bolts?


Thanks

Well lets see, you can basically reuse all stock equipment, however the 2 must haves are the LT's and the 02 Extensions. With mine i ordered the Headers, 02 Ext., Header Gaskets, Air Gaskets, and Strange 8 Locking header bolts. (obviously the Y-pipe as well)

You can delete your rear 02 sensors via computer unless you would much rather get 02 sims and not touch any computer stuff, Locking Header bolts are pretty much a luxury, AIR gaskets who cares unless you have a bad one, Header gaskets are good to have from what im told, but stock can be reused.

You dont need header gaskets. Re-use the ones you have on the car now. They are metal and wont burn

You will need 02 simms if you dont plan on editting the PCm to remove the rear 02's. They should come with some 02 extensions. I always reuse my factory header bolts. They work well and Ive never had one back out on me yet.

PM if you need them installed. Ill do it for a reasonable price

Mike

Stage 8 locking bolts are a waste of money.

well I'll be removing the AIR so I'll need to get those codes taken car of so I'll probably have the 02s deleted while I'm at it.

Mike once I get the headers in I'll pm you

I didn't get one. I hear that their Y pipes dont fit too well with the High flow merge. I'm either going to get true duals or a custom y from Lanes
