all parts needed to put in headers

im going to be getting some pacesetter longtubes and y pipe,there are no emission fitting on them so my question is what all parts would i need to put them in such as o2 sensor extensions,etc.

Thats about it really, the headers come with gaskets and bolts. Alot of people buy locking bolts, and upgrade to a better gasket. I used the gaskets/bolts supplied without any issues and leaks. The only real problem i see with the cheap paper gaskets supplied is that they can/will blow out if the bolts are not tight. This is why you need to tighten the header bolts up, and then retighten after a good heat cycle. With that said, i have used thoe gaskets different times on multiple cars with good results, i occasionally check the header bolts just to make sure they are tight. The only other thing about the gaskets supplied is removal once used, they are sometimes a pain to remove if the gasket did blow out, they stick to the heads/headers. If you don't like maintenance, then I would suggest going to a copper/aluminum gasket that is less likely to leak, and would be easier to replace. As for 02 extensions, i cannot give any insight...I have a 94 and only needed a PS extension.

Better headers gasket such as felpro 1406 and ARP stainless hes bolts is what I used with my hookers (headers that is). My O2 bungs are on my mufflex y-pipe, so I used 24" casper extension. OVC wires may be desiralble as well.
