Question Need some help

I'm gathering up the last little peices to install my Pacesetter LTs and need some help...

I need some band clamps to attach my y-pipe to my headers apparently, what kind do I need? the preformed stepped ones or normal sleeve type?

My O2 extensions? Can I make my own by just extending the wire or do I need to order these for some reason?

And my cutout, I'm inserting a cutout in the 3" section, can I use the band clamps on these as well or do I need to weld the cutout into the pipe?

Any other hardware I might need, I'm trying to get everything I need to complete this in one setting.

1. Normal Sleeves should be fine.

2. You need the O2 extensions, you dont have a single wire sensor so splicing will take more time and could lead to false readings.

3. I would weld the cutout in, less clamping means your less likley to have an exhaust leak. Thats me.

Only thing I can add is that supposedly lt1 corvette o2 sensors will work without extensions. I have read that a couple times on here before.

Ok, where is a good place to buy O2 extensions?

And also, what size is the factory 95' LT1 Exhaust? Basically what size pipe will my 3" Y-pipe be connecting to?
