Default Purchased Ebay Headers

I bought some of the Ebay(xs)headers and I was wondering what I needed to install these.... besides a y-pipe.Im planning on getting the TSP true duals w/spiral flows and adding some magnaflow metallic cats.Here's my list of what im going to order.Let me know if im missing something!

1.)NGK tr-55 plugs
2.)percy's gaskets or gm gaskets
3.)02 extensions..don't know to get flat or squared and one 12" long and one 24" long

A 12" extension might not be long enough for the driver side, I'd go with a 12" and a 24", or two 24's. I ran a 12 and a 24 on my pacesetters with stock sensors, worked perfect.

That's what I run, they rock-the-socks. They are called Percy's Seal-4-Good, better than stock GM's, but a little more expensive.

the sponsors are gettin all pissed cuz the e-bay headers are stealing some of their business, which I can partly understand but I also think thats kinda cheap of them.
