What EXACTLY do I need?
What EXACTLY do I need? Looking to get some Pacesetters very soon. My uncle said he could build me a Ypipe (he has an exhaust shop) so other than that Im looking for what I need to purchase.
What all do I need to get? O2s? AIR? EGR? Im a noob when it comes to exhaust systems, could definately use some help here fellas.

I may convert sometime down the road, but right now Im on a very tight budget. Headers will be the last thing I do to the car for the remainder of the year.
What type of tuning will I need? and How much do O2s usually run?

Pacsetters with a hooker ORY fit perfect. Clears the floorboard of the car no problem. You have a choice. Either extend the wires off the cars harness or buy extensions. The rear 02 simms will be needed if you dont want an annoying SES light. Or you can take it to someone who has edit,efilive or hp tuners to turn off the codes. I usually charge about $50 to do that.
Unless your state is tight about emissions, you wont need the AIR or EGR system(s) either, especially if you're getting an Offroad Y/X pipe. If you're getting one with cats, you can keep both systems, delete one system or both systems. Depending upon who you talk too, you'll get a different philosophy on what to keep and what to trash.
More room in the engine bay and a little less weight. Other then that, basically nothing. EGR doesnt function under full throttle so that isnt robbing any power.
WHere are you located at too? If you're around illinois, we can delete codes for you and provide you with the headers.
PM Me if you need anything...

Im near Denver, CO. The guy who sold me the car has LSedit for my VIN so I just need to know what needs to be done with that program to make the headers function with my car.

deleting air and egr lets you run race style pacesetters which flow better because nothing is obstructing the flow, such as the air and egr tubes... so just have them deleted and get the race style, i think theyre cheaper too..

I'm telling you right now, your car will run like dog **** after the install. Your A/F ratio will be all out of wack. If you can't afford a full dynotune(or looking to do a cam in the near future) buy a Mass Air Flow Translator(MAFT). It will rich/lean out your A/F ratio.
Just think of it as a band-aid for now.

Deleting the EGR andAIR sounds like a major pain in the *** it seems. Will my car still run like crap if I keep those?
Cant afford a dynotune for the time being, but LSedit is at my disposal ...kinda. What do I need to mess around with in edit to get my car running right with/without EGR/AIR
