Everything i'll need?
I want to install Long Tube Headers... not sure if I should go Kooks or Jet Hot? Any suggestions? Money is an issue, but not a HUGE issue because I am saving for either one either way... so it'll just be a litte longer of a wait.
Anyway, I am going with high-flow cats and a LM catback. 2 things... What would I need for a complete install?
Felpro Gaskets, Stage 8 Locking Bolts (For headers), O2 Sensors Extensions, Taylor OTVC Wires, and NGK TR55 Plugs. Think that should do it? I should only need basic tools right? Like a socket set and hammer right? L0L
I know its time assuming, but as far as difficulty... what would you rate it? Anyone have a webpage for an install on a dual cat LT1 setup?

Re: Everything i'll need?
Well from a quality and price standpoint Pacesetter Lt's is what I went with they are cheaper in price yet well built. If Emissions aren't a problem for you I would get headers w/o imssion hookups. Get a LT4 KM they are pretty cheap and keep your pcm from picking up false Knock from your much louder car
dito on the motor mounts! Make sure you a few days to do the install just incase you run into problems.(I did but still wasn't enough time
had to order stupid drain plugs for the AIR fittings.) Get a can of Pb blaster soak all your bolts the night before works awesome. Oh yeah and plenty of cold beer.
One tip for getting the opti boot ends on your Wires spray the teminal with WD40 , I screwed around with those freaking things for a whole day tring all sorts of things to get them on , soaking the boots in boiling water, using the supplied elec. grease, useing a drill to widen the hole, ......sprayed the terminal and walla sliped right on.
There are quite a few great install guides around do a search
Have a freind to help you if you can. I know that if I didn't have my bro's help it would have taken me much longer :LOL:

Oil and an oil filter, you'll have to remove the oil filter to get the header in. For the price, i'd go with pacesetters over jet-hots, I have some issues with my jet-hots, and seeing as the pacesetters are damn near identical for ~$100 less, you cant go wrong there.
