LT install ??

im about to install Hooker LT's, im just wondering if there is anything i should get, or prepare for. I read that better gaskets, and stage 8 locking bolts should be bought. Should i also get all new 02 sensors? Also, are there any tips or reccomendations before i start this project. I already replaced my plugs and spark plug wires not too long ago. I value all your guys' opinions, youve helped alot in my time of need. bow: Thanx!:

You'll also need 2 O2 extensions, some anitseize for the bolts, a pair of mechanic gloves and lots and lots and lots of patience

Don't forget the 6 Pack... It's more fun to curse at the Engine when you're drunk

I'm not trying to discourage you, but are Hooker LTs California friendly. You may want to makes sure for pollution control.

Soak the manifold bolts in PB blaster and let it sit overnite, I did this and was amazed how easy my bolts came out.
Do all of your relocating and wire extensions before installing the headers. It,s alot harder to get your arms in there once the headers are in.
Take your time and don,t get ticked off when you run into problems, LT headers are a pain to install any way you look at it so it pays to take your time and do it right.
