Long Tubes Installations
Long Tubes Installations just finished doing a search with no files found so here we go.... i just purchased a set of long tube pacesetters and was hoping to get some advise on installing them, any help will work 
Pace setter headers slide in easy ones I've installed had good clearances and no griding of the K-member is needed only thing I saw that I didn't like is the pass side collector was super close to the heat sheild! But there easy as crap to put in ya got to take your dip stick out and plugs also if ya take ya coil packs off its worlds easier and make taking the plugs out a world of difference have for and enjoy your new sound!
Here are some instructions for SLP Long Tube Headers. There aren't any pictures but it might help?

If your doing it from the ground make sure to get that **** as high up as possible. The driver side will be a PIA, just slide it in with the collector facing straight down if you can and slide and manuever it in. Good luck.

they come with instructions, we had to remove the coil packs, plugs, heat shield, dip stick, and i think thats all. The passenger side was a pain in the ***, but the drivers side wasnt too bad.
I like the remove the valvecovers when i do them.
Make sure you have an impact ready for the cat to manifold bolts. You are going to have at least one of them break the hell off, but dont sweat it.
I went out and bought a 1/4" drive air ratchet, i can remove all of my header bolts with it once they are broken loose

Finished installing my pacesetters yesterday. Easy as cake man. The only clearancing I had to do was on the casting block. The hardest part of the whole ordeal was gettig the old exhaust components off.
thats the same setup im running PSLT/ TSP Y PIPE WITH CATS, if i remove the valvecovers will i need to replaced the gaskets,the reason im asking is i want to be prepared im gonna try to do it on a saturday so i really dont want to be driving up and down to the auto stores.the good things is ill be using a lift to make it much easier

Texas Speed has the Ypipe/Cats for $349. My question is, DO you need the 02 Extenders for this install??
We're getting ready to install a set of these on little bro's 2002 SS. I've pulled my LGM headers off my C5 so many times, I don't think doing this one will be that hard... I also have a lift inhouse, so that will help.

you need extension for the front O2's the TSP catted Y does NOT have bungs for rear O2's you either need to have them welded on or get O2 sims. if you get them welded in I think you might need extensions for the rear. But I Am not sure
how many 02s are there in total, two in the front and two in back of the cat, when i purchased the set of headers and catted y pipe i only purchased two 02s extension, would i need two more 
I just finished mine tonight(pacesetter lts)... Went pretty smooth i had to jack the motor a little to get the drivers side in, But besides that it just takes time but itsnt too hard, the hardest part was the elec. cutout clearence.
