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.

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

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.?
