LT Header Help...
LT Header Help... I'm going to buy some pace setter long tube headers with a off road y-pipe, but I was wondering if I should buy the race version with no AIR or EGR? Does the race version still have o2 sensors? Also I wanted to make sure that all I need for the installation is header gaskets, two 24in. o2 extensions and a couple exaust clamps.

you can use the stock header bolts. I would advise taking out the sparkplugs because I broke one of mine when pushing my headers up through. They were brand new 
But the best place for the paper gaskets that come with the headers is in the trash.
But the best place for the paper gaskets that come with the headers is in the trash. I wouldnt recommend reusing the stock ones either. Go to a dealership and get the stock metal gm gaskets. I have heard they are the best to use. Does ARP make header bolts? If they do, id consider replacing the stock ones with the ARP's. I Wish i had done that if its possible.

It is hard to beat the MLS stockers though. Yes, ARP makes header bolts for our heads. They are header studs actually. Part# 113-434-1301 www.thunderracing.com

Verdad Gallardo I was wondering were I could get the block off plate that goes over the hole in the intake when I remove my EGR tube? Also If I buy the race style headers will I need any other block off plates to finish removing my AIR and EGR? I know taking the AIR and EGR off will cause my SES light to come on, but will it cause my car to run bad? One more question, is there a hand held tuner that can delete the codes so that my SES light will stay off?
If u buy the race style headers then they will remove ur AIR and EGR inlets and u can just remove hose from the system. Yes ur SES light will come on after u remove the AIR and EGR. I dont know if there is a held hand tuner to delete codes, but i would just go to a tuner and have him delete it. It's not that expensive. U can also get a performance tune at the same time while ur at it.

I'm guessing I can buy the rubber expansion plug at Lowe's or Home Depot? Does anyone know if there is a good tuner around Paducah, KY.? I heard there is a good tuner around Memphis, Tn. About how much would it cost to get my EGR and AIR codes deleted?

i would go ahead and take your spark plugs out so you don't break them and also just check and see what kind of condition they're in. i put all new ones in mine. also check your header bolts and see how rusty they are...i replaced mine for like $25. as for deleting the codes, it would be a good idea....mine keep going on and off, i need to do the same. not sure about the cost, maybe $40-50

So from what I've gathered the pacesetters should come with the clamps and copper gaskets and I can use my old header bolts. I can buy the rubber expansion piece for my EGR at advanced auto and get the codes deleted for around $50. So now I just need to find a tuner around my location, does anyone no were I can find one around Paducah, Ky.?
