awesome guide.. thanks

should i get 02 extenders? also factory or aftermarket o2 sens. or o2 simulator?

You will need one extension for the passenger side.
I have two 93 AC Delco (GM) o2 sensors with 2000 miles on them and the extension you need if you're interested. $60 shipped for everything.

As far as gaskets, I would recomend using Felpro gaskets. Regardless of brand, just make sure they have the "d" shaped port openings.

good luck , i cant wait to do mine, hopefully soon , just ordered lockign header bolts and extensions

am i set , i have
headers , ory
copper gaskets (for now ) also some high temp rtv sealant
collector gaskets (ones that came with teh headers)
extensions
header bolts
pb blaster
anything else i need?

JJJ93z

what did u need the rtv sealant for?
also what kind of clamps are you using for the pipe coming from the collector to the y pipe
?

CamaroSS30thAnn

to help create a better seal aroung the gasket area, even tho it may burn off anyways

do u mean the y-pipe to the i-pipe???

Mystic97Z

a custom y pipe,,maybe.. alot of people have to take their cars to a muffler shop to have a custom y pipe made cuz the drivers side header points up underneath the car, and the y pipe wont clear the tranny crossmember, even with the dent. good luck, some shops wont do that cuz it wont have cats....i would recommend using gm gaskets..also, don't rtv the gaskets on the header/head surfaces. that will just create spots to leak. good luck, watch out for the low coolant sensor also.

I just put Jet Hot LT's and Y-pipe in my car . Perfect freakin fit all the way . Not extra bends or anything. ( I drive a 96 z28)

JJJ93z

mystic ........ i also got a jet hot Y pipe too, because my z has a elec cutout in place of the cat and the guy at midas freaked out once he saw it and took it back down from the lift. why should i be worried about low coolant as well ?

JJJ93z

thats exactly what i ment thanks

CamaroSS30thAnn what brand locking bolts did u get? the speed shop by my house has Stage 8s but it looks confusing, i seen some that you put a allen wrench in the middle and turn it once the actual head on the bolt is fully in , i just forget what brand those are.

Madwolf, pmed ya

Also should i put my wires on after the LTs are bolted down? (ive never done plugs/wires) on a lt1 before.( and yes ive done a search for the last half hour or so)

thanks
