After installing headers..

do you have to replace any other parts like the plugs etc? Is it worth it to buy ceramic coated headers or does it not matter? Thanks

When I did my headers, we replaced wires, plugs, and o2 sensors (had about 70k on them) while we were at it. Its alot easier with headers installed. but to my knowledge theres not really anything else to do IMHO. oh yeah ceramic coated is defintly a good choice. Mine are ceramic coated and they still look new(about 30k miles on them) and they also disapate heat real good too! hopefully that will help, What kind of headers?

Ceramic coating is worth the money, they keep underhood temperatures quite a bit lower. You should also replace your motor mounts while you are putting in the headers, I didn't and ended up with a collector hitting front suspension every time I get on the throttle. They are cheap and easy to replace while you are installing, I have to take my headers back out to replace mine now.

yeah i also got my driver side hitting the K member, when i take off from a dead stop... I ordered the Prothane Motor mounts from thunder racing (@ $50) I really wish i had done them when I had the LT's out of the way.... Now I'm probably gonna have to do it until I order a new clutch so I can put em in at the same time...
