Pacesetter long tubes and tsp ory pipe ????
I don't think you'll find a better deal on headers & a Y pipe. I didn't dyno my car stock this is after the headers and a 3400 stall converter:

It's running a little rich and hopefully should pick up a few more hp with a new tune. I was told my numbers would have been a little higher before the stall converter which supposedly costs a few hp on the dyno.
I think most guys see about a 20rwhp gain with LT's and no cats.
With the LT's and ORY only my et dropped 4 tenths and I gained 3 mph
in the 1/4 mile.
Here's some pics of the headers and install.

Good luck with the TSP ORY, I had a difficult time getting it lined up perfectly and had some banging issues prior to getting it in the right way. I think quite a few others had the same problem but it is a good piece once you get it in there correctly. Before you install the TSP ORY grind out the inside of the "Y" piece that connects to the cat back like I did.

The first picture was taken shortly after I started grinding:
After:
At the time I put the headers in my car was lowered (Eibach Pro kit).
This is how much ground clearance I was left with after the install:

Im kind of in the same situation, I have my Pacesetter Lts in my garage but im still waiting on the Y-pipe to get here. Is it a good idea to go ahead and do the plugs/wires while installing the headers? also what else is needed besides the required tools for the install?
if they need to be replaced, otherwise I installed my Pacesetter's without removing the plugs so they don't need to come out.
I'd pick up a set of GM gaskets and some 24" o2 extenders, also o2 sims or a tune.
