I just installed a set of the race pacesetter coated with a hooker y-pipe, msd wires, ngk plus. It was easy except the last header bolt on the passanger side was one of those bolts you have to turn the entire way out with all your muscle. Other than that it was pretty easy. The y-pipe hit the rear of the crossmember alittle so i just cut the tab off of the crossmember with a torch. Now keep in mind i did mine on a lift. Also i bought everything I could think of(metal clamps.....the nice wide ones i think they are called t-bolt.....those suckers srap right around the pipe they kick ***). I used the pacesetter supplied bolts and new gm gaskets. One other thing the y-pipe hits the floor board bad...i beleive it is a combination of worn motor mounts and me not doing any clearance work. I'm gonna heat the pipe up in a few spots with the torch and just bend it down a inch or so. I have heard that if you assemble every thing loose and wedge a block of wood like a 2x4 under it and tighten everything down the exhaust will not be so close to the floor.

I only had to remove the 2 7mm bolts that hold on the clutch line heat shield to get the drivers header in....and i also left the plugs in (new plugs)

Get some o2 sims (or get them tuned out) band clamps, a set of plugs, plug wires(maybe depending on the condition of the current ones), you may wish to consider some new GM gaskets, depending on the mileage of the car, some bosch 13111 front o2s, and a tube of antisieze, and a 10mm gear wrench (that's all I can think of)
