PS No problem with the Pacesetter install at all man..like I said they would fall out on the floor if she didn't hold them up to be bolted on..

Of course a jack and jack stands (I used a 3 ton sears jack, and 6 ton jack stands) sawzall, or grinder for stubborn stuff
PB Blaster to soak the bolts prior to removal, some string/zip ties/ribbon/whatever to hold the headers up, either some mechanics gloves, or have a **** load of bandaids, several dozen cuss words 
antisieze, and maybe some new header gaskets and some plugs and wires
Think that's about it

so i have a ? i will probably be ordering the pacesetter header and tsp ory package from TSP. do i need an install kit to put these headers on that come with gaskets? or anything like that?
i know i will need o2 extentions but isnt it better to run the headers on it for a while then put them on or is it ok to go ahead and do it right away. I think i heard that the ceramic coated ones have something in them that burns off and could cause the o2sims to not function right

Pacesetters come with the bolts (you can use the stock ones) gaskets (use the stock GM metal ones) and the wire to extend your o2s, and some clamps, so you won't need the install kit for them. I'm assuming the TSP y pipe comes with clamps too
As for running the headers in for X miles to break them in, I didn't, I put the o2s in when I got the headers bolted to the engine, and I have no o2 codes.
The sims don't go in the exhaust gas stream, they simply plug into the rear o2 connectors,(the ones that are on the car) and keep the computer happy

The Y might bang, might not (mine doesn't)
EGR what year is the car, if it's 01 or 02 don't worry about it
00 or older you need to take out the pipe and get a plug for the hole in the intake 1 3/8" adjustable plug IIRC, then rip out the EGR stuff, you'll get the SES light but it won't affect how the car runs
CAGS has nothing to do with headers, it's the skip shift, can be disabled with either a resistor, or tuned out

I sawalled that litttle tab off the block (note: a sawzall will cut thru aluminum like butter )
Honestly the pacesetters were easyer to fit than the true-dual system I got at the same time, my advice: Leave yourself at least 2 days to do the job, that way you dont rush anything and it'll all go pretty easy.

There is nothing on the coated headers..(any brand)..that will hurt your o2's..

I may have put the car up on jack stands after I drove it up on the ramps. It was a few years ago and I do not remeber exactly how it went. Except it was very EZ.
