Default First real mod (Speed daddy headers, flowmaster merge, cutout)

Alright I am about to pull the trigger on some ebay auctions, and I just wanted someone to look over my intended setup. This will be MY first mod to this car, and I'm pretty excited to get started. The car is a 00 SS t56 with a k&n and 3" magnaflow exhaust.....that's it

I plan on purchasing the flowing:

Speeddaddy EBay stainless headers
Y300350 flowmaster y collector
3.5" cutout
and then have an exhaust shop weld up the necessary piping (no cats)

Am I forgetting anything?
I don't think I will get 02 sims. I think i'll just get those codes tuned out along with egr and air......how long is advised to run like this without a tune?.....I am in alabama so no inspection and I don't mind the ses light

Check and check. I think the gaskets are coming with the headers. Should I use better ones?

If theyre the cheap paper gaskets, dont use them. Get a set of OEM MLS gaskets.
