Ok guys im doing my headers this thurs, is there any other little stuff i need to buy to install headers and delete air pump? more on the air pump i pretty much know the headers, any special fittings or plugs needed? thanks

 

When I did my headers there was one little fitting toward the back of the intake manifold I plugged with gorilla glue, but other than that nothing I can remember for the air unless your headers you are installing have air fittings. Then you will need air fitting block off plates. If you still have an LS1 intake manifold I think you'll need to plug the EGR hole in the neck of the intake.

 

For the EGR plug in the intake they sell the plug at the GM dealer & its $16 OR some get a rubber expandable freeze plug. Better yet, get an LS6 intake, no plug needed

 

While you are down there you should definitely check your engine mounts and trans mount. I never did mine when I installed the headers and now mine bang on my floor! If you fit the headers up without new mounts and the collector is within about a half inch from the floor then you will get some banging.

 

Yeah, if you aren't lazy you should do motor mounts. I was lazy and when it banged a bit I just pulled the y-pipe down a tad and it stopped.

 

yea you do need the plug for that.

 

I would at least check plugs too while you have the exhaust off. The long tubes will make it easier than the manifolds, but it never gets easier than with the exhaust off.

 

thanks everyone for advice, their race headers no air hook ups, Does gm carry the egr plug in stock or is it a def they will have to order it? and where do do get the adj freeze plug? If i would have known sooner i would of went ahead and did motor mounts but now it's to late to get them in damn it. I have saw alot of people running ngk tr55's so i'll prob go ahead and stick those in (what gap) Thanks again
