I'll give you a few pointers : get good quality gaskets felpro's I used, locking header bolts are a good idea although I didn't use them, need O2 sensor wire extensions, use band clamps on the y to header connections not the crappy ones they give you, get the over the valve cover wireset or you'll be forever replacing burnt wires, need to remove steering shaft to get driver side in can't remember the passenger side. Hopefully that helps and I'm sure others can add in their experiences.

They give you wire to splice them but unless you solder them properly it affects the signal. If you do lengthen do the harness not the sensor. thunder racing sells a kit which gives you wires, holders and crimping tool. The steering shaft comes off pretty easy.

I didnt buy an OTV wire set and I prolly should have so hopefully with the coated headers I wont burn my wires. I have everything off of the car ready to put the new headers on except I cant disconnect the steering shaft. How do I DO IT????????????

took out headers, y-pipe, air and egr crap, starter, alternator, plugs, wires, intake elbow, MAF, cold air intake tube, battery, dipstick, steering u joint thing, gonna do thermostat thinger tomorrow, had to drain the coolant from the radiator and i drained the oil and took off the oil filter. I thinks that everything. Not too hard tho as long as u got all the tools and penetrating fluid. If u dont have an 02 sensor tool i recommend u get one i got mien at autozone for a couple bucks.
