Post Installing Hooker LT and ypipe tomorrow any advice? (installation site?)

I finally got my hooker LT and y pipe. I will be installing these tomorrow and wondering if anyone has run into problems, or if there are any things that would make it easier to install these. Thanks in advance!

Be prepared to buy a O2 sensor or two.

you will need to notch the fuel line heat sheild for the O2 sensor since hooker put the bung on he outside of the header. You will not need to jack up the motor at all, you should be able to finess the headers in place. Also takin off the steering shaft will help.

if you look closely, you will see the O2 sensor on the driver's side. Thats were u got to clearance it.

Thank you for the replies, I have finished the install 13hrs later... my wife helped a little ha,ha,ha. And I am working on getting rid of the rattling now. It sounds ok with the hooker catback. Seems like I lost some low end torque. Will a cam solve that problem? Any suggestions for cam type?
Thanks
