Re-use the stock metal gaskets or get new GM metal ones.
Re-use the stock header bolts, just clean them with a wire brush and apply anti-seize to the threads.
Before I went true-duals I had my electric cutout in the I-pipe right before it goes over the axle.
You can drive with the headers with the stock tune without any problems. The SES light will be on but it won't affect anything at all. My car was rich on the stock tune..12.1 a/f at WOT. After full exhaust it leaned out to 12.5.
