Long Tube Install ?'s

What all will I need to buy to hook up a set of ***Emissions Compatible*** long tubes to my existing Catback ( Will their Y-Pipe bolt straight to my Flowmaster? ) ... I plan on buying the Y pipe that comes with a Cat already and is set up to bolt right to the long tubes. Will I need any type of exhaust gaskets? Also what brand manifold gaskets are the best, And Header bolts ? What will I need to hook up the O2's and EGR/AIR ( Or will the EGR and AIR bolt right up since its the Jet Hot Long Tube emissions compatible ones ???

Also Anyone want to give me a rundown on the install and what all is involved? I pretty much know how EVERYTHING goes on and off of the car at this point ( Bought it totalled with no engine so ... ) What all has to come off to get long tubes in? Also, would I need to unbolt the motor mounts so that I can Jack the motor up higher to get them in place and stuff or is that not needed? If anyone knows of a guide that has a breif rundown ( Shoebox maybe ??? ) of the install, thatd be great. Id like to have everything ready so that when I get them ( Ordering them within the next 2 weeks ) Im ready to go and can start tearing into the car right away to get them hooked up

Here's a list of my suggestions:

-FELPRO gaskets (#1406)
-Stage8 Header bolts (they have allen key capability)
-Two O2 extenters (ThunderRacing.com)

Its also a good idea to do the plugs and wires when you do headers. As for EGR and AIR, yes...the Jet-hots are availible with these provisions.

O2 extensions plug right up, but there is alot of slack so you might need to tie strap some of it to the car. And the AIR and the EGR bolt str8 up to the emissions version of the Jet Hots.

The most important thing to have for a header install is PATIENCE!!
