Default installing MAC's on a 02.... what do I need???

Ok, I know I need the headers, y-pipe, O2 sims (off road pipe), but what else??? Can I reuse my stock gaskets since I only have 1,800 miles on the car? Do I need O2 extensions??? Someone PLEASE give me a list or something of all the misc. parts I'll need.... EGR block off? I know I don't have an EGR, but do the headers need a plate to close the connection or anything?

You are going to need an EGR block off plate and the '98/'99 AIR tubes.

I have a set of the AIR tubes for sale for $40 shipped if you need them.

i duno if the 02 sensors are in the same place on the off road pipe as the on road pipe, but if they are then you dont need 02 extensions, your stock gasket will be fine to reuse. i would also reckmond doing a plug change while you are at it, i knwo you dont have many miles, but the stock plugs suck and its also easier to install the headers with the plugs out, the drivers side goes in from the bottom, the passager side goes in from the top after you take off the coil packs and valve cover, you can reuse the valve cover gasket as well. you will probly also need to remove the starter. i can think of anythign else you will need that hasnt already been listed, but if you got ?'s just email me, i just did a mac install on my car a week ago.
