you will need two bungs for the front O2's and either O2 sims for the rear or if you are planning on getting it tuned your tunner can turn the rear O2's off that way. Also w/ longtubes you will want a Y pipe and so forth depending on if you want to keep the converters.

You can have the fittings put in the headers, it's just a question of drilling a hole, and welding on a threaded bung, if you can't do it, I'm sure an exhaust shop could help you out, probably for less than $100
