Default Hooker LT Install Questions!!!

I'm getting ready to install some Hooker LTs and Y-pipe on my '99 T/A! What is the best set up for this modification? Should I use the stock header gaskets and bolts, or the paper gaskets and bolts that the Hookers comes with? Will I need O2 extentions for the front O2s? ...How long? Things like that! All help is much appreciated!!!

Thanks!

I used the stock gaskets. They looked like stronger chit.

Use the stock gaskets. You won't have any issues. I have ONLY seen header leaks on LS1's with non-stock gaskets.
